Hi,

I am currently running on win2k and need to write a batch file that can change the inherit permisson of files and folder. For example, i created a new folder name "ABC" in "C:\My Documents\work\mywork". By default, the folder "ABC" would inherit the permission of "mywork". But i need to make "ABC" to inhert the root permission(great grandparents) instead of its parents permission. Meaning that the folder/files will inhert the permission from the root instead of the parents.
I've never written a batch file before so any help or sample that can aid me will be greatly appricated.

Thanks,
Gladdie

I think you cannot just jump over the parents and inherit directly from the GrandParents you know.. It's against the law Children inherit always from their parents. haha..

But seriously, you just look up what the root permissions are with the "CACLS" command (what a terrible name) and set them to some array variable (sorry don't remember details, long time no use) .. then you just set the permissions with that CACLS for the folder.

For writing batch files and for the syntax look up the following:

Thanks for your reply. Since it cant inherit directly from the GrandParents, is there a way to always force it to inherit from the parents ? Cause sometimes the new folder i created doesn't always follow the parents permission. So i was thinking of writing a batch to force it to inherit the parents permission whenever i create a new file/folder.
