Changing File, Directory, Registry ACLS

What about a function to change File Directory and Registry acls.
I know it can be done with external utilities at least with the file and directory.
But it would be handy to be able to do it in a script without shelling out.

Do you mean via a logon script?

Basic fact number 1: If it can be done through a logon script it can be done by everyone.

Re: Changing File, Directory, Registry ACLS

I use xcacls and cacls to restrict access to certain files at logon but once the files acl's have been changed so that the user logging on can't modify the acl's there is no problem with them changing the acl's unless the user owns the file.

I also use kix to create new users so being able to set the acl's without shelling out would be extremely useful.
