When you're granting rights to several files within a folder, you use to be able to do so all at a time. Now you have to do them individually for no apparent reason.

I've scanned around to see if there were any solutions to this change and haven't found anything......so have any of you run into this trying to enable rights to certain files and what do you do now(that doesn't involve creating groups or placing them in master files, then moving them around)......

Thanks

    You can't populate to subfolders anymore?

    when installing a program that installs to c:, you can grant the program permissions different than C:, but you can't do that to multiple folders on C any more

    The following quote is from the Microsoft Windows7 Official Academic Course book.

    "When coying or moving ntfs files in Win7 from one location to another,whether the destination is on the same or a different NTFS volume, the new copy does not take the permissions from its original location with it.
    Instead, the new copy inherits permissions from its parent folder at the new location."

    As long as you are logged on to your machine with sufficient privelidges for the files or folders you are moving, and you place those items into another folder with the appropriate permissions already set, you should be good to go.
    Hope this helps.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't.........It indicates that the only proposed solution I'd found doesn't work......

    I'm sure there's some magnificent way that Microsoft designed to make it easier to set permissions on files other than selecting a bunch and right clicking...........fucktards.......

    Here's a link for automating permissions, not sure if this will still apply to Win7 or if you are putting files on the root of the drive.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180464.

    They are a bunch of backwards individuals that work for MS. The fix is surely something magnificent.
    Tards...Yes.

    I'm not a programmer and most of that isn't doable as I'm often at different sites so the folder structure is never the same in terms of their systems.

    There has got to be a way to hilight several folders on C, then create an everyone group and grant full control instead of having to do it one by one.......

    Unless I'm thinkin wrong (not unusual), the folders on a root should inherit the permissions of the root??? The root should be controlled by the user permissions???

    I know someone who can answer your issue, if you'd like I can querry him for an answer.
    It may take him a little time to answer me but if he's not too busy I'll hear back sometime today.

    Ok.......if a user is logged onto a machine, but that machine has 30 people that could sign on with a unique ID (assuming they're not all part of one group), if I install a program under Administrator and copy some icons to some locations, I should be able to right click and create an Everyone group and give it full control of the necessary files. Not all users are equal......

    Previous versions of Windows would let me select multiple files and right click and change the permissions to all of them at once, whereas 7 now requires you to do this same process one file at a time, which makes absolutely no sense......

    Nice.......thanks for the effort.......

    It's not that I can't make do, but when functions just disappear and there are zero workarounds readily found, it makes me want to smash someone's head against a wall (not mine).......lol......

    Question Brett:
    Does the scenario above (post 9),assume the individual users are not part of a domain and/or the PC is not part of a domain?

    ultimately, granting full control could be to the 'users' group.....it's not so much a matter of who a user/pc is a part of as much as it's being able to set permissions en masse....

    Ok, I just asked this question because after a re-read I am unsure if we are dealing with domain permissions (signed in), or not.... and had a feeling he may ask me that question to clarify.

    The people will be signed in........but when we install we're on as an Adminitrator, then grant full control to select files (some in windows, some in root, some in Program files, etc.) but all must have full control. If I'm in C, and needing to enable rights to several folders at once, I use to be able to highlight 2 or 3 folders, right click, and set the permissions.

    If the permissions were different between the two folders, windows would tell you they were different, but you could OK that and continue to make them both the same.

    OK, clear on that. Thanks.
