Question

Is there a simple way of disabling permissions on an NTFS filesystem?

I keep ending up with files with weird permissions.

I don't know what the default is, but maybe a script that just removes all users from a file, and sets the permissions for "everyone" to be everything?

Is this possible?

Answer 1

That could end up with bad side effects since some files and programs expect permissions. There are also things like the permissions are an important part of security for system critical files (ensuring ntkrnlos.dll isn't replaced, for example). I would look into using Filemon from SysInternals to figure out why you are having permissions errors instead of trying to ignore it.
