You are right. I fixed this. Thanks.

Additionally, I added a sentence telling the user what to verify on 
Win7, because the "Disable inheritance" button only exists on Win8 and
later.

I really don't understand why you are saying that the _entire_ page is 
wrong?

Perhaps 'wrong' is the wrong word ;-)

What I meant was, If I run Computer Management on Win7 , I do not get
the same options shown in the screenshots on that wikipage, so I cannot
set things as shown.

To me they seem screenshots of a more recent Windows version, like Windows 2012
or 2016 server, or Windows 10 client. Maybe the wiki needs to be extended with
pages for each OS version ...

The next time, please say

instead of

It's very frustrating if you spend 8 hours writing such an instruction 
and get this kind of feedback. (Yes, that's the amount of time I need 
for a doc of this size and complexity including testing.)

I just mentioned this because it's not the first time I read such 
comments. This really frustrates me, makes me thinking that I'm wasting 
a lot of my spare time, and often keeps me away from writing new content 
for a while.

Marc
