Windows 7 Sharing Everyone Full Control not applying all folder?!?

[chris89]

So I set the security for the everyone user to full control and tell it to change it for all files and folders within the driver. I'm setting full control for everyone so i can move files and folders etc over my network.

It simply doesn't apply the "Everyone" user to full control on all the folders.

How do I make it set the "full control" for the "Everyone" user for ALL files and folders within the drive? Like a full batch security change to full control?

THANKS

Sounds like your setting the file system permissions rather then the sharing permissions.

It's like when I go to "Computer" and right click on d drive to properties. Then moving to security. I add Everyone to the allowed users and add full control. However it's supposed to set it to all files and folders but it simply doesn't apply the correct permissions to all files and folders. This is on Win 7 x64 ultimate.

That actually only sets the permission on the object you have added everyone to, there is an advanced option to set the permissions on all child objects.

However, this has no effect on sharing files between computers as that is filesystem permissions.

You'd need to use the sharing tab for that.

I have my advanced sharing setup for my entire hard drive. I don't want to share individual folders etc. I have that machine setup as my sever since I has a couple raid 0 arrays and tons of tera bytes of room and hella performance. I'm accessing over gigabit and it works great like I'm directly connected however I have hit the gigabit bottleneck at what 150-200MB/s? When the RAID can a do a little more but that's some damn good transfer speeds right?

Anyway, I access the machine over the workgroup and I see the D, and E drive and most of the directories have full permissions but some don't. That's my problem. How do I make sure that the permissions are 100% going to be applied to all parent and child directories? I'm setting the Everyone to "Full control". I'm not concerned about security threats.

Thanks

Now that part ironically is handled by the filesystem permissions.

You need to go into security, advanced, change permissions, everyone, edit, full control and then ok.

Yep did it. It only applied to some directories. Why wouldn't it apply to all? I un-applied then re-applied and re-did like 20 times. Why doesn't it work automatically? Anyway to set the command for all parent child directories via command prompt or something?
