Winternals Software LP Page 11 ERD Commander Version 1. 03 5. 1 ACCESS Gives Everyone full access to directories or files. Syntax Switches ACCESS [[drive][path]filename] [/S] /S Processes files in all subdirectories in the specified path This command is a custom ERD Commander command. It is possible to render a NT system unbootable by inadvertently applying security restrictions to NTFS files or directories that prevent NT from loading files it requires. The ACCESS command will add a security entry to the security attributes of specified files or directories which gives the Everyone group full access. The Everyone group includes all groups and accounts, so this is the most permissive security setting possible. If the file or directory specified is inaccessible because the System account or Administrators group is denied access, ERD Commander will first take ownership for the Administrators group. This allows it to then modify the security settings to give Everyone full access. The command can even be applied to root directories of drives that have been totally locked down. Such drives will show up in the drive mapping as having a file system type of "???". [. . . ] Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Includes empty directories or subdirectories. /U /K Copies only files that already exist in destination. Normal XCOPY will reset read-only Notes attributes.
