Because you are falling into the trap of thinking that the share tab has 
anything to do with setting the NTFS permissions on a share. Nearly 
every time anyone has problems setting permissions on a Samba from 
Windows, they have messed with the share tab, the favourite one is 
removing 'Everyone'. Just ensure that only 'Everyone' is set on the 
share tab with Full Control, Change and Read permissions set.

I can only talk from experience, leave the share tab alone and set the 
permissions with the security tab.
