[Zope] Authentication, Anonymous and Public

I thought the same. Perhaps the use of NT User causes this? 
Since the browser has the credentials to authenticate to NT and the higher folders are not aware of the 
NT User Folder...

Seems the only solutions are to use the NT User Folder at the root level.

Thanks
