folder permisson commands

[Rajeev Kaula]

I am running Windows 2000 workstation and have to provide
permissions (read, write, or full control type) to
different folders that will be separately accessed by
students. It can be done individually using the GUI
working. Is it possible to setup a batch file that
essentially accomplishes the same thing. What batch
command will allow me to assign permission on a specific
folder to a particular user??

Thanks.

Rajeev.

You could use cacls or xcacls. Xcacls gives more options and more granular
permissions. Try it out an a test machine, or do a backup of the machine you try it
on until you are proficient using it so you don't accidentally change the wrong
permissions. --- Steve
