700 folders other than one at a time.

Click to expand...

As long as they are in a "tree" just go to the top
and propagate permission with either Explorer
or command line Cacls.exe (Be careful, you can
mess up an entire drive quickly.)

If they are in random or numberous places then
best is to collect up the names/paths and use
a batch file with Cacls or Xcacls.

For more complicated issues, download SetAcl
from sourceforge -- warning, SetAcl is not for the
faint of heart or the command line wimp.

well if they are on a same drive and you want the same
premession on all of them then put them in a parent
folder and apply premession of it then on the advance tab
place a checkmark to apply theses premession to all
subfolders...
however if you want to apply differnt premessions then it
should be a difficult for you...
