Set a permanent setting to all the folders in My Documents

Asked By Bashar 10 points N/A Posted on - 01/04/2012

Hello intelligent people!

I would like to know how to solve my problem.  I would like to set a permanent setting to all the folders in My Documents.  I know that we could click the box which says to apply the same setting to the sub folders.  However, I noticed that they would reset after a while. 

Do you know how to make the set all the folders to Documents and have it at that permanently?

Set a permanent setting to all the folders in My Documents

Can you advise as to which Settings you are referring to?

If you are referring to the permissions on the folder, setting the folders to inherit the settings of the parent folder with the child would be useful. Right click on your my Document icon > Properties > Security > Advance > Check the ‘Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child objects.’ It would be best, if you do the steps as an Administrator.

If your computer is not joined in any domain or workgroup the Security tab can be viewed via Start > Settings > Control Panel > Appearance & Themes > Folder Options > View tab > uncheck ‘Use simple file sharing [Recommended] in the Advanced settings.
