Xcacls and Windows Explorer

Hi,

It doesn't seem that Xcacls can do the same thing as
Windows Explorer does. With Windows Explorer, I can make
an Access Control Entry like this: Allow, Users(a local
PC), Write, This folder and files. But I just cannot
achieve the same thing by using Xcacls. For example:

Xcacls "c:\Program Files\QUICKENW\*.*" /E /G Users:w /Y
This command will assign Write permission to all files,
including the subfolders, under the directory.

Xcacls "c:\Program Files\QUICKENW" /E /G Users:w /Y
When I check the result by using Windows Explorer, it
looks like this: Allow, Users(a local PC), Read Write &
Execute, This folder, subfolders & files.

I did a lot of test, but just cannot get the same thing I
did by using Windows Explorer.
Do we have other tools that can do the same thing as
Windows Explorer?

Thanks

It is not clear what you were unable to do.... there is a setacl.exe
program on SourceForge that we have been discussing the last
few days....

Thanks Herb.
What I want to do is to make an Access Control Entry like
this: Allow, Users(a local
>> PC), Write, This folder and files. I cannot make it by
using XCacls.
What is setacl.exe? What is SourceForge?
Thanks

Yes, I found the setacl.exe and download it. I will give
it a try. Thanks Herb.
