Hi all!

I want to make sure that a group of users can't WRITE a set of files
that they have to be able to READ. The files belonging to that set
might change over time, so I want to make it part of a logon script.

The problem is, I can use CACLS / XCACLS to DENY ALL access to the
file. or to GRANT read, write, etc privileges to the files.. But I
can't use them (or, probaby, I don't know how to do it) to just deny
write permissions for a given group.

Is there some util that I might use, or do I have to resort to VBS to
accomplish what I need to do? IF that's the case, HOW do I do it
(sadly, whie I'm quite adept at batch scripting, VBS is not my forte).

Thanks a lot.
