will print or list, for a particular folder or file, the Users or
Groups that have rights to access it.

Hi, 
 
Armed with a bit more knowledge than yesterday I think I may have
found the solution you're looking for.
 
It's only a few simple steps: 
 
1. Please create a file called act.bat (for example) and place this
where you want, I'll use c:\ as an example
 
2. In this file place the following line: 
cacls.exe %1 > act.txt 
 
3. In the 'Send To' directory of your home directory, for example: 
C:\Documents and Settings\endo\SendTo 
Please create a shortcut to act.bat 
The target line should read: C:\act.bat 
 
4. That's it! :) Now you can right click on any file or folder, then
choose 'Send To' and act.bat will write out the permissions to
C:\act.txt.
 
I've played around with this a bit, tried different solutions such as
editing the registry, but this seems to be the simplest and it seems
to work with the files I tried. A slight modification to the act.bat
file could be to replace the line with this one:
cacls.exe %1 > %1.txt 
 
That places the output file in the current directory and names it after
the file or directory you've clicked on.
 
I hope this answers your questions. If you still have any more
questions or are not satisfied, please do not hesitate to ask, I'll do
my best to find a solution.
 
Thanks. 
 
Regards, 
endo

Hi again,

I've found 2 other tools for you.

Xcacls, which is from the Windows ressource kit, it's similar to cacls
but with more features, you can still use the same system described
above to add it to the context menu.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/tools/existing/xcacls-o.asp

Also found a free utility called DumpSec. It has its own interface and
you can ask it to output the permissions for a given directory.
To do that, choose 'Report->Dump Permissions for File System' from the
menubar.

You can download DumpSec from:
http://www.somarsoft.com/

I hope that one of these solutions will be what you're looking for, as
always if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

If you are satisfied with one of these solutions, I'll post it as an
answer.

Thanks.
endo
