Permission on Folder script

Lee H

Hi

Would someone kindly help me out with a script, my knowledge on scripts is pretty non existent but I am now in a situation were one would come in pretty handy for me

I have to change "view hidden files" and go into C:\documents and setting\all user\application data\"***" in here there is a folder I am adding "Everyone" and giving "Full Control"

I am also going into C:\Progame Files\"***" I am also adding "Everyone" and giving "Full Control"

Reason its a piece of software that needs to be updated when a standard user is logged in

I would love to be able to run a batch file that added "Everyone" to both these folders giving "Full Control" permission

Is this a simple one

Any help is much appreciated

This is doable. You would want to use icacls. There is so much in there that you are better off opening up cmd and typing icacls /? so that you can fine tune it to what you want. I wouldn't give the everyone group full control though. You could do authenticated users instead. Also I wouldn't give full control they should only need modify.

Edit: here is something that should get you started if not be what you need:

icacls "C:\documents and setting\all user\application data\folder" /grant UsersM)

The frown is : ( without spaces

Thing is I am vising about 20 sites and using a USB drive to install this said program and also making it update-able
by a standard user, the whole "Full Control" thing is me just following orders, I agree "Modify" would suffice

So my only tool would be a batch file I could run

Cheers for your help

Bring it up that full control allows them to change permissions.

Why not push with a goo?
