I need a Tool to reset all the NTFS folder and file permis..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage,microsoft.public.windowsxp.general,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support,microsoft.public.windowsxp.perform_maintain,microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

For some reason my permirssions are all mixed up and chaos has broke lose.

I have 2 computers and want to share files on the newtork, so security is of
no importance here.

I would think that the simple file sharing would work, but I had to turn it
off to reveal the problem was

in some ntfs permissions making them invisible when seen on the network.



I want a tool to reset all of the permitions so I eont have to do this
manually.

I would perfer it have a GUI, or if its a command line please explain what I
have to do
to fix it..

THANKS

There is a command line program that will do this: cacls.exe. Help is
available for the Help and Support option from the Start Menu. It is a very
powerful program. If you do not understand the options in Help and Support
then I recommend you don't use it. If you make a mistake the problem could
get worse.

You don’t need a tool windows can do this by it’s self. You do
this by opening the properties of a Volume or folder. Go to security,
set the permissons, you want (for the sake of ease, not security)
everyone to READ only. So add everyone, then you want Users to READ
everything. Then you the CREATOR OWNER group to be able to have full
control. The you want the administrator group (not the user, the
group) to have full control. Then to set these permissons for the
whole volume or folder, go to advanced and check "Replace permission
entries on chile objects...". And if you use the power users group you
should also set them to read only (i think). And SYSTEM should also
have full control. The easy way top go is to set everyone to full
control, but thats dangerus. Here is a screen shot i made to help you.

I look at Cacls on the help and support in windows, also I looked around for
info on it
on the internet. This command line app scares me... If I make a mistake in
the syntax,
who knows what can go wrong. Furthermore I dont know what I have to include
in the
syntax.
If you could provide me of an example of the syntax for making drive F and
user KENNY
accessible to everyone it would be great...

Kenny
