editing multiple folder permissions

[ZeroHour]

Hi

I have built a vista client to see how it handles on our network for admins.

Everything seems fine so far but MS have decided to disable the ability to hightlight multiple folders and edit their permissions. The "security" tab just is not there so you must edit each folder individually.

Anyone got a work around?

 

Cheers

Use XP :-)

 

I'm guessing they want you to edit at the level above. eg say you have

Topfolder
 Folder1
 Folder2
 Folder3

 

and you want to change Folder1 and Folder3 but leave Folder2 alone. Move things like this:

 

TopFolder
 Sub1
   Folder1
   Folder3
 Folder2

and set the permissions on Sub1

 

Only other thing is to use the command prompt.

 

Can't see any reason why that should be removed from Explorer - perhaps just another example of why Vista makes your life a misery!
