NTFS Permissions

[Patrick Whittle]

It seems to me that NT & XP has a command at DOS / CMD that will reset all
NTFS permissions. Do you remeber what that is?

Oh - you probably meant to ask "What is the command?" and not if we
remembered what it was...

There's this:

How to reset security settings back to the defaults
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

And that is part of this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949377

Which uses that command in a script along with "subinacl" (method 3) to make
sure all of your files/directories/registry keys have default permissions
and at least the members of the local group "administrators" has full rights
to everything.

thinking like one. <g>
