icacls is a command line utility tool that allows system admin to grant or deny access permissions to a folder or path. Example below grants the user "TheAdminUser1" to the Desktop path specified below. icacls C:\Users\admin\Desktop /grant TheAdminUser1:F To check whether the permissions has been applied or not. cd to the path, like C:\Users\admin\Desktop, then type: icacls . . >> means the current path Once everything is ok a similar output like the image below will be shown, and there should be an "F" access list which means Full Access Permissions. If the output shows "successfully processed 1 files" and failed processes shows "0" files then permission has been applied without any issues. For more complex scenarios, and if the system has PowerShell cmdlets installed like Get-Acl and Set-Acl might offer more flexibility.

The ";" semi-colon is to execute the command line one after the other. hostname -I <-- will show the IP Address netstat -rn <-- will show the gateway and the subnet mask (need to install net tools if command is not found) /etc/resolv.conf <-- where the DNS IP Address is set It's quite daunting if you're a newbee, but hey it is just a command line it doesn't bite it just shows good information to know abo...
