cacls so one can put files in the root directory

[d***@gmail.com]

cacls \ /g everyone:f

Please help me ensure that this is the correct command line
to enable one to put ordinary files in the root of the hard
drive under Windows Seven.

cacls \ /g everyone:f

We had some trouble with this locking people out of their hard
drive. If someone has the wrong permissions on the "everyone:"f"
how can they undo it, e. g. they just made the root only
readable such as by using “everyone:r” or writeable by using “everyone:w”

CACLS is both unsuitable and too dangerous for that purpose. You should use a
VBScript via WMI to change the root directory permission. Get the "WMI Code
Creator" from Microsoft to get you started.
