Modify Multiple files' NTFS permission
In Windows XP, I can select Multiple files and right click them to modify
permissions in Security Tab. But in Vista, I can't see the tab when I select multiple files and see the Properties. How can I do it like XP? |

Modify Multiple files' NTFS permission
Hello,
I'm not aware of any way to do this exactly like Windows XP. You can do so using the icacls command-line tool when using an elevated command prompt. To open an elevated command prompt: - Click start - Type: cmd - Right-click cmd when it shows up under programs - Click Run As Administrator The icacls tool takes a bit of getting used to. Here's an example command line: icalcs *.txt /grant JimmyF) Grants the user Jimmy full control over all text files in the current directory. -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |
