Solved Can User Access Control Entries be modified in bulk?

[hollowman85]

I've moved some files from my old PC to a new one, and find that the UAC entries need to be modified on the new PC.
Are there any software or utilities which can make the changes easier?
( I don't want to make the change file-by-file, as quite a nr of files are involved and each file's UAC change involve quite a number of keystokes)

Thanks....

Go to the highest directory level ...

Create a backup HDD image, BEFORE modifying your permissions.

You can set the permissions on the highest directory level and force them to propagate down the directory structure.
(see example pictures below).

​

​

You could write a batch file or script which contains the "icacls" command.
I've never had much luck using it myself though.
