Quick way to use file permissions ?
Posted: 22 Oct 2021 13:26
Hi Guys,
I have a set of files I do NOT want deleting.
(I want to write protect them)
I have been playing around with file permissions
inside Windows 10.
I find them very long winded and prone to making mistakes.
Or they just plain don't work after setting them up.
Is there a quicker easier way of doing this inside XYplorer ver 22.30.0200 ?
Batch handling of files would also be very useful in this context?
Here is an example of what I am referring to.
1. Right mouse click on "TestFile.TXT
2. Click on Properties
3. Click on Security Tab
4. Click on Advanced Tab
5. Click on Disable inheritance
6. A prompt will appear with two options in it. Select the one that says Convert inherited permissions into explicit permissions on this object.
7.You’ll now see all of your user accounts listed on your screen. Click on the account that you want to prevent from deleting your file and then click on the Edit button. It’ll let you edit the file permissions for your selected account.
8. Click on Deny from the Type dropdown menu.
Thank You.........
