Windows commands book 2004-04-09 - By kim aldis

Windows security is a pain in the arse, putting it mildly. Like all things
windows, vastly more complicated than it need be and cryptic in the extreme.
I actually have a folder here where I can created folders but the created
folder won't allow me to put anything into it; no permissions. Of course,
although I've no permission to write to it, read from it or do anything to
it, Windows still lets me change the permissions back again. And don't even
get me started on share permissions. (voice steadily rising to high-pitched
jabber) I mean, for god's sake, all I want to do is allow some people access
and not others, how hard should that be?
