setting inheritable permissions from command prompt

[Jason Steeves]

I was wondering if anyone had a way to deselect the "allow inheritable
permissions from parent to propagate to this object", select copy the
permissions, and then reselect "allow inheritable permissions from parent to
propagate to this object" on a folder from the command line?

Thanks,
Jason

Jason,

check CACLS and XCACLS. I don't know offhand, but at least one
of these can probably do this.

Create a test folder with some files or subfolders and
experiment with them first. The programs can be misunderstood.

Take H-G's advice to test because when you forget the /e option, you're
screwed.
