Set folder permissions from C # - convert CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell") from vb to C #

I would like to know how to convert this vb script to C #

Dim strFolder As String
Dim objShell As Object

strFolder = "C:\zz"

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

objShell.Run "%COMSPEC% /c Echo Y| cacls " & _
                 strFolder & _
                 " /t /c /g everyone:F ", 2, True

What I am trying to do is set permissions to "Everyone" in the newly created folder on the users drive C: \.

I am using Visual Studio, .Net 1.1

Thank. Ian

Unfortunately, it is not possible to upgrade - I work for a large company, so that would mean upgrading loads of people - which will be the mission ...

But - creating a process!



System.Diagnostics.Process meProc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start ("cmd.exe", " /c echo y| cacls C:\\zzz /t /c /g everyone:F");

Thank you both for your help.

Is it possible to upgrade to a newer version? .NET 2.0 has introduced classes into the System.Security.AccessControl namespace to handle this. If this is really not possible and you only have one command to execute, you can create a Process and just execute cacls

in it.

This also uses the Microsoft.Win32.Security library ...

I don't have a SecuredObject

SecuredObject sec = new SecuredObject("C:\\", SecuredObjectType.FileObject);
