Username login for CACLS command

[PierCed_3]

I am trying to CACLS a folder on the C: drive for our users on the floor (restricted generic user account) and would like to do it in a batch file... Question is, how do I launch the batch file as a particular user? I need to run it as admin.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I just found it... I was having a major brainfart. The command is Runas. Does anyone know the correct syntax? One that I can understand? The syntax it gives you from Microsofts website is really confusing and it makes me believe that I need to use all the parameters.

What operating system are you referring to?

win xp

Sorry, I should have posted that.

What I am trying to accomplish is to give full access to a folder called C:Barcode to 150 computers on the floor. I am using a batch file at startup for the generic user on our production floor to map drives and I want to add a CACLS command to give full access to the folder. I have figured out the syntax now I just need to figure out how to make it so it doesn't ask for the password.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks again.

Good info! I ended up using Sanur for my needs. It's a little confusing but it does the job. Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!
