Set permissions recursively on Windows 7
Here's how I was able to do it:
- right-click on the directory, go to Properties
- Security tab, Advanced..
- Permissions tab, Change Permissions...
- Add...
- Advanced...
- click Find Now, then find and click on "Everyone", click OK
- click OK
- "Everyone" should now show up in the list, with "Read & execute" permissions
- check the box for "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object"
- click OK. That should recursively give read access to "Everyone".
