Folder Permissions

[Jasper Recto]

I want to change the permissions on a folder but I do not want it to change
the permissions on the subfolders or files within that folder.

Can I do this or do I have to go to each subfolder AFTER I change the
permissions and remove the inheritance? I would hate to do that because
this folder has hundreds of subfolders.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jasper

You only need to adjust the next level of folders immediately below the top
one, so as not to inherit the parent's settings, but to retain the existing
settings as their own properties. Folders below that level would inherit the
change. Thus, it would depend if the next level down has only a few folders,
or many. If many, a scripted solution using cacls or the like might be the
best approach.
