I look at Cacls on the help and support in windows, also I looked around for
info on it
on the internet. This command line app scares me... If I make a mistake in
the syntax,
who knows what can go wrong. Furthermore I dont know what I have to include
in the
syntax.
If you could provide me of an example of the syntax for making drive F and
user KENNY
accessible to everyone it would be great...
