For some reason my permirssions are all mixed up and chaos has broke lose.

I have 2 computers and want to share files on the newtork, so security is of
no importance here.

I would think that the simple file sharing would work, but I had to turn it
off to reveal the problem was

in some ntfs permissions making them invisible when seen on the network.

I want a tool to reset all of the permitions so I eont have to do this
manually.

I would perfer it have a GUI, or if its a command line please explain what I
have to do
to fix it..

THANKS

There is a command line program that will do this: cacls.exe. Help is
available for the Help and Support option from the Start Menu. It is a very
powerful program. If you do not understand the options in Help and Support
then I recommend you don't use it. If you make a mistake the problem could
get worse.
