   I tried your code for folder permisson on http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?p=3810879#post3810879, and works well, but when I tried to adapt to a file, gave me error:
   Error 1: Value of type ‘System.Security.AccessControl.DirectorySecurity’ cannot be converted to ‘System.Security.AccessControl.FileSecurity’.

   The code I use is:
   ———————————————————-
   Imports System.Security.AccessControl

   Public Class Form1
   Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
   Dim FilePath As String = “C:\test,txt”
   Dim UserAccount As String = “Everyone”
   Dim FileInfo As IO.FileInfo = New IO.FileInfo(FilePath)
   Dim FileAcl As New DirectorySecurity
   FileAcl.AddAccessRule(New FileSystemAccessRule(UserAccount, FileSystemRights.Modify, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit Or InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Deny))
   ‘FolderAcl.SetAccessRuleProtection(True, False) ‘uncomment to remove existing permissions
   FileInfo.SetAccessControl(FileAcl)

   End Sub
   End Class
   ———————————————————–

   The “FileAcl” from the last line seems to be the problem ” FileInfo.SetAccessControl(FileAcl)”

   Can you help me with that?

     I replied to your post on vbforums – you just need to declare your FileACL object as FileSecurity instead of DirectorySecurity (just like the error message tells you).

   We are not able to select multiple computer from the target list once imported from AD. There should be some way to selected multiple computer so that it can be removed.
