User Reviews

  • Administrator permission needed to delete a folder (I changed the permissions on it just to try this "Full Control WIndows Permissions" app). You launch the .bat. Ugly DOS interface. Annoying first warning message "Are you sure you really want to do that". Well yeah, kind of. THat's why I'm here... Anyway : I checked permissions before and after and NOTHING changed. Super efficient... Can I put 0 stars ? Nope, only 1. Too bad.
  • excellent
  • “ERROR: The current logged on user does not have ownership privileges on the file…"
