Changing Security levels for folders.

When my program installs the Security setting for the admin account is fine
Permission is there for everything (The target computers are locked for
installation under all accounts but Admin). But, the sercurity for the user
account... Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Con... and so
on, some are set and some are not. What I want a way to change these
settings in my instalation software... I don't use installsheild (Trying to
figure that program out gave me a headache) I just wrote a little program
that does the job, well allmost does :^)

Could someone tell me how to adjust the folder security settings from delphi
code so I can just put it into the program.

Thank you
Carol

I have some code that may help with this, which I can send to you if you're
interested. Which OS are you targeting?
