    xcacls.vbs is very helpful in restoring special permissions. Do you know any
    difference between folders with checked Read&Execute, List Folder Contents,
    Read, Write and a folder checked with just List Folder Contents, Read, Write.
    I created two folders with these permissions respectively and created a
    notepad text file in each and tested. I don't see any difference between the
    two. Is there a functional difference.
