File/Folder Permissions

I have a hard drive that used Windows XP. I currently wanted to import a
large amount of files from that hard drive into my internal hard drive that
uses Windows Vista. In order for me to use it, I have to set the permissions
for each folder and file that I have imported. Is there any way to set all of
these permissions at once?

Re: File/Folder Permissions

In addition to taking ownership, you need to change permissions with icacls

I'm not sure the previous link included how to do that...
