Thank you for your reply Cley. The icacls command is new to me, but I have a general idea what it does now.
Let's say the file I'm trying to to change is "C:\Users\Joe\Desktop\foo.txt" The command line I have tried so far is C:\Users\Joe>icacls "C:\Users\Joe\Desktop\foo.txt" /grant Joe-PC\Joe:F Of course, the F permission is "Full Access" which I already have. I am just showing what I have already tried. How might I modify this statement to include "special permissions"?
