Viewing File Security The Easy Way

If you are trying to identify and lock down security holes you have in your file permissions, using the standard Windows interface can be daunting due to the fact that you can really only see one file/folder permission settings at a time. With the Microsoft tool, AccessEnum, you can view all permissions of both file and registry permissions in an easy to read multi-listing table format.

AccessEnum’s usage is pretty self-explanatory. You simply select a folder or registry key and are presented 4 columns which display the file as well as Windows accounts which have read, write and are denied access. This is a fast and easy way to make sure your most important data is secured.

This program does not have to be installed, so using it from your USB drive is ideal.
