How use CACLS command to see permissions...

[George]

Am using WinXP-pro, wanted to look at permissions using CACLS the 'command
prompt', but not able to...might have to do with the two-word name of
folder. Can someone help, here's what did?

I ENTERED
Start > All Programs > ... > Command prompt

IT GOES TO BLACK SCREEN WITH
c:\Documents & Settings>George Jones>

I ENTERED
c:\Documents & Settings>George Jones>cacls George Jones

IT RESPONDS
....with details on the cacls command, not what I'm looking for like...
XP-HOME-VPC\George JonesOI)(CI)F
etc.

I ALSO TRIED
c:\Documents & Settings>cacls George Jones

IT RESPONDS
....same as above

QUESTION
Do I need to type something different with the "George Jones" words?

Thanks,
G

Actually, you're question contains the answer. You need to
enclose folders that have spaces in their names with quotation
marks. Like this:

cacls C:\"Documents and Settings"\"George Jones"

Thanks, I thought I had tried that, but re-tried it and it does work
perfectly, like this...

IN COMMAND PROMPT, BLACK SCREEN
C:\Documents and Settings>calcs "George Jones" <return>

....returns permissions.
