Changing File Permissions

I need to know if there is a way that I can send a
command through a login script, that would change
permissions on a file on a machine.

I have students who can access the command.com in the
C:\winnt folder. They only way to prevent their access
is to change the file permissions and deny the student
user group from executing the program. I want to make
that change happen across the school, without having to
touch every single machine.

Any suggestions are certainly welcome.

I might suggest that you take a look at cacls or its "big
brother" xcacls.

That should do the job.
