Setting Permissions

[Ian Finlayson]

I want to give another user with a limited account the ability to write to a
folder within Program Files so they can save when they're playing a game.

How can I change the permissions for that folder?

I seem to remember that it used to be possible by right clicking on the
folder but now all it seems to talk about it sharing across a network.

At a Command Prompt:

cacls "C:\Program Files\Program Name" /E /G "User Name":W

If you want to do it from the folder's Properties Tab with XP Pro you
have to disable Simple File Sharing, with XP Home you have to boot to
Safe Mode.
