Re: Code to remove a user group from file or folder ACL

I looked into xcacls.vbs, but am not sure that this will do what I want.
Switch /R will revoke specified user's access rights, but not remove the user
group. For example: my program will download file permission for a file on
day 1. The user groups are "administrators", "system", "lg_processors", and
"xnn8tty". On day 7 I perform the same download and now there are 5 user
groups because "everyone" is now present besides the prior four. This is
usually caused by the user checking the inherit from parent box on the
advance permission tab. What I need to know is how to delete/remove
"everyone" user group from that file using vb code and not set revoke
permission or remove it using the remove button on the advanced tab. I
thought about using /net command remove user, but I believe that will delete
everyone from all files in my domain. Your help is greatly appreciated.

This VBscript file examples pretty much any possible ACL
manipulation. Also, you could look into fileacl from sourceforge.

I'm using subinacl.exe to download file permissions on a server. Then, we
edit certain permissions once a week. However, I need to know how to
