Vista - Script to give user modify permission

We are running Windows XP and I am looking for a script that gives the
"users" group modify permission on a folder on C:\Program Files\

I checked the web but could not seem to find one. Can anyone offer some
suggestions?

thanks.

syntax to ask 'cacls.exe' to do it for you would be:

cacls.exe "c:\program files" /T /E /G "Users:C"

Are you wanting to do this to a bunch of computers? If so, please advise
the source of your list. Do you want to get it from Active Directory, a text
file or walk an IP range looking for computers?

Basically, I am using SMS to deploy a software to 30 PCs. This software
installs on C:\Program Files\software folder.

In order for users to use this software, I need to give the local "users"
group (ex. PCNAME\Users) "modify" permission.

So the syntax would be like this (?):

cacls.exe "c:\program files\software" /T /E /G "Users:C"

be wrapped in quotes, but it is a good practice since "Power Users" would
need to be wrapped. I think you can have SMS issue the command. This should
run it with enough privileges to edit the ACL. You might be able to
incorporate it into your software install job. I have very limited knowledge
of SMS, so I am not sure how to do this.
