SUMMARY
=======

Fixacls.exe is a utility that resets the NTFS file and folder permissions on
system files for Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation to their default
values. It is not located in Supplement One of the Windows NT Server 4.0
Resource Kit, as expected. The Resource Kit Release Notes and the Overview of
Windows NT Resource Kit Tools, in Supplement One of the Windows NT Server 4.0
Resource Kit, refer to this utility.

RESOLUTION

contains the executable and documentation for FixAcls.exe.
