cacls: Error 1304: Error writing to file

[Frank]

Hello,

I'd like to execute the following on a Windows Xp Pro computer in a domain

and want to make it won't "break" any other files on system:

cacls "c:\Documents and Settings\All Users" /T /E /C /G administrators:F

Issue: Photoshop was already installed on a computer but it may have

received an updated, etc and whenever it executes the automatic photoshop

installaiton/update it reports: Error 1304. Error writing to file: C:\Program

Foles\Common FIles\Adobe\PDFL\5.0\FOnts\ZY____.PFB. Verify that you have

access to that directory.

I wene to the Adobe support forums and they suggested the above command and

it may just work but woud rather confirm if there are any ramifications in

executing that command above.

Thanks

All it's going to do is grant members of the Administrators group full

control on the c:\Documents and Settings\All Users directory, something

that Administrators would/should already have.

I wonder why they would have you run cacls against the "All Users"

directory when the error reports issues with a completely different

folder...

John - Good point. It is a different path/folder. Thanks for your response.
