re: unable to display the user selection dialog Monday, April 6, 2009 at 10:00 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jacob6601 (2174 messages posted) Look for the file F:\WINDOWS\system32\cacls.exe = 18,432 bytes. Add it, if needed and try again. If it is there, try setting permissions from the command prompt. I suggest playing with "dummy" files/folders first. If you look at the link, note that CACLS has a typo. help = CACLS /? probable syntax = CACLS filename /P user:perm Under "manual setting permissions" = http://www.xav.com/scripts/installer/3008.html From link --> "An equivalent method is to open a command prompt, navigate to the file or folder, and use the "calcs" command-line tool to manipulate permissions. Both "calcs" and the Security tab are equivalent interfaces to the same underlying functionality."
