How to enable Editing Files in Program Files to Users (as
ADMIN). I have some progs that are trying to edit some
files in their main (program folder like c:\Program
Files\ConMet). My File System is NTFS

Thanks

A user needs at least write and maybe modify permissions to edit a file. With modify
they can also delete files. It sounds like they may have only read/list/execute
currently. The link below may be helpful. --- Steve

If the app is installed at c:\program files\app
you could at a cmd prompt issue
cacls "c:\program files\app" /e /t /g users:c
in order to grant all limited account the ability to
modify all and everything in that apps install point.
