Does anyone know how to force a permissions change on a folder in windows?<br />
<br />
I can browse to the directory and when I click properties it shows no size and only two tabs, general and customize.<br />
<br />
I have been trying to push the permissions down from the folder above and it works for the other folders in the directory but not the 1 folder. <br />
<br />
I tried to replace permissions entries on all child objects<br />
I tried removing inherited permissions from parent to propagate. <br />
I tried to take ownership <br />
I tried deleting the folder<br />
I tried attrib –R command in dos

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.
