Editing NTFS permissions works the same way as in Explorer - via an object's properties in the tab Security. Be aware that removing directory permissions usually requires the inheritance to be disabled first. Depending on the directory owner it might also be necessary to take ownership of the directory before the permissions can be changed; this is not necessary when changing permissions as administrator.

One thing you should NEVER do, although this can be read throughout the web: Grant the pseudo-user "Everyone" the permission "Full Control". This allows everyone - including guests - to change permissions! If you want everyone to be able to write, it's sufficient to grant the "Write" permission.

This topic can become very complex very quickly. I suggest to read and try to understand before you change permissions since doing so can have security implications.

There is no such plugin or feature.
This would in no way take away the considerations which Dalai has explained.

cm_EditPermissionInfo
cm_EditOwnerInfo

cm_EditPermissionInfo
cm_EditOwnerInfo

This may not help at all.
The result for both functions is:
---------------------------
Windows
---------------------------
Windows cannot take ownership as requested because a component of the software you are using that is required to perform that function is not compatible with any version of Windows released after Windows Server 2003. Contact your software vendor to find out if this software has been updated for current versions of Windows.

OK

hi
i guess maybe with a command line and icacls
for example
icacls Install /inheritance:d /t /c
should remove everthing
there isn't any way to do it, right?

[Fla$her]

You cannot delete everything, you can reset:
Command: %comspec% /q/c takeown /f
Parameters: "%P*" /r /d y && icacls "%P*" /reset /t
