Hi,

I am tying to create an app which will automatically grant read access to a folder for a user account.

Has anyone any ideas on how to do this?

Cheers,
Peter
 
Thats a hard one, I cant remember the name of the API, but thats the route youre going to have to go. A search on MSDN for folder permissions should get you in the ball park. Know thats not much help but hopefully it will get you towards your goal.
 
I was about to post a similar question here :) .. but Ill just append to this.

I would like to set the permissions of a directory so it can be used as the webroot for IIS. I believe I need to set it to read/execute.

Ideally Id like to find the IUSR account, but I would be happy with just being able to set Everyone to read/execute.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread, but if I find anything regarding permission mods today, Ill post.
