I have a large number of files in a sub folder that I need to change the permissions to fit its parent folder.  I am logged in as a domain administrator.  What steps can I take to minimize the amount of work to achieve this?

How do I modify security settings for a large number of files without doing them individually?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
