command line option for inheritable permission

[Guest]

Hi,
Here is my issue: I need to create a folder where everyone should have read
access
but the subfolders underneath this folder will have access to only one
particular user. I want to be able to do this using commands. Is this
possible. I want to avoid the inheriting the permissions from the parent
folder to the subfolder in the command line. I will be creating 300 some
subfolders. Thats why I have a need for this. I don't want to right click
and remove inheritance of permissions and add new users for each folder one
by one. Can somebody help me with this with a small script if possible or any
ideas?

BTW this is in Windows 2000.

thanks
Kanan
