Modify ntfs secutity in batch ??? 1

[Alboy]

Hi
On a NT4 server,I have a folder with a lot of subfolders and files with different ntfs security . I need to add the "system user" to all of the file with full control. It will take me lot of time to do the hard way (file by file). Is there a tool to do this in a batch. I need to keep the security already there. Just adding this user. Thank you.

use cacls.exe from the resource kit.

If everything is under a top level folder - just add system to that and let it propagate to all sub folders and child objects.
