Modify NTSF security settings

[Rob LMS]

I'm working with a code that allows users to modify the security rights of
files on our server. We have been using the Win 2000 resource kit tool
xcacls.exe which is a command-line tool and thus requires you utilize the
shell command.

Although this has been working, I was hoping there were VBA commands that
will accomplish it without having to use the shell command, which has given
unreliable results in the past.

Definitely no VBA commands to do it, but you might be able to figure out the
appropriate APIs to call.

The problem I've encountered is that the details aren't that easy to find
anywhere!

It's somewhere in WBEM or WMI, but I've never needed to go digging in
there. I think this is the place to start:
