File security API

[StewartUK]

I found on the news2news site the API call GetFileSecurity. There was no reference to using the corresponding API SetFileSecurity.

Has anyone ever used SetFileSecurity?

Thanks,

Stewart

According to MSDN the function is obsolete (At the top) They suggest you use SetNamedSecurityInfo instead

You can find some code sample here (VB)
