From: Whiteford on 4 May 2010 08:24 I still get access denied on folders if I use: cacls "d:\User Files" /e /t /c /g system:f Do I need to take ownership first? as it is Win2008 should I use icacls instead?

From: Pegasus [MVP] on 4 May 2010 08:37 Yes, take ownership first. It is up to you whether you use cacls.exe or icacls.exe.
