string strPath = @"C:\Program Files\ABC"; DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(strPath); DirectorySecurity dSecurity = dInfo.GetAccessControl(); dSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule("Everyone", FileSystemRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit | InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit, PropagationFlags.NoPropagateInherit, AccessControlType.Allow)); dInfo.SetAccessControl(dSecurity); when trying this exception is thrown – Nethaji Mar 22 '13 at 12:00
