Does anyone know of a utility that can be used to set the ACLs of a group of
files? In particular, I am trying to keep Windows Media Player 11 from
wiping out my custom album art and need to remove any modify or delete
permissions for all users including system and myself.
If I search for Folder.jpg from the root of my media library, I can set the
read-only attrubute which, in spite of suggestions from some Microsoft
employees that this will stop the problem, does not stop WMP 11 from
overwriting my album art with 200x200 pixel artwork. I cannot, from the
search results, set the NTFS permissions as a group; I'd have to select each
file, one at a time, to change. With 2000+ files, that really isn't an
option.
The only option left is to use NTFS permissions to block anyone from
changing these files. And if I ever try to delete the files after setting
the permissions, I need to easily return the permissions back to allow me to
edit or delete when I really want to.
So, what I am looking for is a good ACL editor that can do wildcards, etc.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dale
