'Example from MSDN (Q240176)
'The following code changes permissions on a folder to Add & Read or Change.
'The folder needs to be created on an NTFS partition.
'You need to be an Administrator on the machine in question and have read/write
'(READ_CONTROL and WRITE_DAC) access to the file or directory.
'1. Create a Standard EXE project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
'2. Add two Textboxes (Text1 and Text2) and two CommandButtons (Command1 and Command2) to Form1.
'3. Add the following code to the form and the module
'4. Run the application.
'5. In the Test1 TextBox, enter the name of the folder you want to change permissions on. (D:\test is entered by default.)
' In the Test2 Textbox, enter the name of the user you want to give these permissions to.
'6. Click the Add & Read permissions button to give Add & Read permissions to the folder, or click the Change Permissions
' button to give Change permissions to the folder.
'7. To check the permissions on the folder, right-click Explorer. Select the Properties menu item, and click the Security
' Tab of the Properties dialog box. On the Security tab, click the Permissions button. The specific account should say
' Add & Read or Change depending on which button you clicked in the preceding sample.
