In Windows Vista, how can I find all the files for which
a user has access permissions?
You can use the Vista icacls command with
the /findsid parameter to find all files that contain a specific SID in the
file's ACL. The following example shows the command syntax:
ICACLS *.* /findsid savilltech\administrator /t /c
where /t means to perform the operation on the named
directory and all subdirectories, and /c specifies that the
operation continues on all file errors, although the error
messages will still be displayed. You can also use the fsutil
command, as follows:
fsutil file findbysid savilltech\john d:\documents
