No need to put :r after /grant. Check the examples by typing icacls /?
Do like this:
icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Program File" /grant Everyone:M

will this add the permission on the folder? or only on files? – rangerr May 08 '14 at 12:01

It'll provide the permission on `Program File` folder. – Sunny May 08 '14 at 14:46

So if the Everyone isn't previously on the folder permissions will it add it? – rangerr May 08 '14 at 15:48

Yes, It'll grant `MODIFY` permission to group`Everyone`. – Sunny May 08 '14 at 16:02
