apply permissions to subfolders

Posted: 01-20-2009, 10:35 PM

I am trying to do a simple thing - delete a folder from c:\windows\
Now vista permissions kick in..

there are several folders inside the directory I want to delete . Now
I can't change the permission of the directory itself to delete it . I
have to individually take ownership and change permissions of each
subfolder to delete it. which isn't possible, because there are like 300
subfolders .


So how do I change the permission settings of of every folder and file
inside a directory ? just delete a goddamn non-empty folder.
