change permission on all files inside a folder or hundreds of file inside a folder

[Anthony B]

How can I change permission on all files inside a folder,
or change permissions of hundreds of files inside a folder?

I know how to change one file permission = property, security, edit, add,
advance, find now, "everyone" or some such, OK, OK, Full Control, ok, ok.

But, how to do a group of files, or every files inside a folder?

Hi Anthony,

The easiest way to do this is to add "Take Ownership" to the context
menu. It automatically includes all the subfiles and subfolders in a
folder.

Change the permissions of the folder. Click on the "Advanced" button and
check the box th propagate the change to all files & sub folders.

Additionally,

you can use the icacls commmand-line utility from an elevated command
prompt. It takes a bit of getting used to its syntax, but it is very
convienent.

It is built-in to windows, here is some documentation for it:
