How Do I set/change permissions on Folders or Files using
the Command Line (or in a batch file)?

(I am creating a batch file to automate some stuff and
after creating a directory, I need to uncheck the inherit
from parent, add one user with Modify rights and remove
Everyone)

Hi

Some options for you:

1)
I don't know but cacls.exe (comes builtin with WinXP), or xcacls.exe
(in WinXP Support Tools) might be able to do this.

HOW TO: Use Xcacls.exe to Modify NTFS Permissions

Xcacls.exe have some issues:

Child objects in a folder do not inherit permissions as expected
when you use Xcacls.exe with the /E switch

2)
I'm pretty sure xcacls.vbs is able to to it:

3)
FILEACL.exe should be able to do it:

4)
I know that SetACL.exe can do it:
