Both in the respective resource kits, and not installed on the system by default. [X]CACLS uses the names and I don't believe it can use the SID of the users, which makes it worthless when you don't know the exact name of the Administrators account, for example (it should be renamed for security best practices, as I'm sure you're aware, and (some? all?) multilingual variants of Windows have the name "Administrator" translated into the respective languages). I'm not certain though on SYSTEM and EVERYONE, since those can't be renamed AFAIK. Definitely something to update the SetAcl page with though, when|if I get time. Glen Starrett
