Overview

SetACL is a set of routines for managing Windows permissions (ACLs) from the command line, from scripts and from programs.These routines can be used from various container or interface programs. Currently there exists a command line version to be usedin batch files or scripts. An ActiveX DLL is to follow soon.

History

SetACL 2.x is loosely based on my first SetACL program 0.x which I started develping in march 2001 and improved continually. After some time I realisedthat the design and implementation of that old version were not up to the many new features and impromvements I had in mind. So, in latedecember 2002, I started from scratch, using a much more flexible design approach, which resulted in the completely rewrittenSetACL V2.

Main features

Requirements

SetACL works on all Windows NT based operating systems from Windows 2000 onwards. The newer, the better.
