file shard commad line

[arun vivek]

The command-line way:
Download Xcacls.exe from the Windows 2000 Resource Kit. It works on XP; trust me.
Here are the usage instructions, straight from the output of xcacls /?:

XCACLS filename [/T] [/E|/X] [/C] [/G user:perm;spec] [/R user [...]]
[/P user:perm;spec [...]] [/D user [...]] [/Y]

Description:
Displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files.

Parameter List:
filename Displays ACLs.

/T Changes ACLs of specified files in
the current directory and all subdirectories.

/E Edits ACL instead of replacing it.

/X Same as /E except it only affects the ACEs that
the specified users already own.

/C Continues on access denied errors.

/G user:perm;spec Grants specified user access rights.

Perm can be:
R Read
C Change (write)
F Full control
P Change Permissions (Special access)
O Take Ownership (Special access)
X EXecute (Special access)
E REad (Special access)
W Write (Special access)
D Delete (Special access)

Spec can be the same as perm and will only be
applied to a directory. In this case, Perm
will be used for file inheritance in this
directory. By default, Spec=Perm.
Special values for Spec only:
T Valid for only for directories.
At least one access right has to
follow. Entries between ';' and T
will be ignored.

/R user Revokes specified user's access rights.

/P user:perm;spec Replaces specified user's access rights.
Access right specification as same as
/G option.

/D user Denies specified user access.

/Y Replaces user's rights without verify.

NOTE:
Wildcards can be used to specify more than one file.
More than one user can be specified.
Access rights can be combined.

Examples:
XCACLS /?
XCACLS TEMP.DOC /G ADMINISTRATOR:RC
XCACLS *.TXT /G ADMINISTRATOR:RC /Y
XCACLS *.* /R ADMINISTRATOR /Y
XCACLS TEST.DLL /D ADMINISTRATOR /Y
XCACLS TEST.DLL /P ADMINISTRATOR:F /Y
XCACLS *.* /G ADMINISTRATOR:F;TRW /Y
XCACLS *.* /G ADMINISTRATOR:F;TXE /C /Y

Basically, if you want to give user "Bob" full access to dummy.exe without being asked if you are sure, here is the command:
xcacls dummy.exe /G Bob:F /Y /C

If you want to deny Bob execute rights to dummy.exe, run
xcacls dummy.exe /D Bob:X /Y /C

Warning: XCACLS is a powerful and extremely dangerous tool. Use it at your own risk. This tool is not in any way supported by Microsoft.
