Do you mean by a command line argument?

Start, Run, cmd

xcacls /?

There are other options.

I suspect that Netherbeast (nice handle) wants to change NTFS permissions via a batch file as can be done with a script as can be done in *nix. Here's some more info about xcacls:

Just in case:
If you need to accomplish this via GUI for individual files or folders:

Unix IS user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
