hi XPero! would just like to ask if there'd be any switches to eXPander? i'm trying to create my 1st addon for your eXPander but i'm having difficulty as it doesn't get slipstreamed/integrated at all ... i'm already seeking advise from addon makers though thanks!

It is a standalone executable, so you shouldnt have problems

A new utility has been released. Take Control for Windows Vista.

your tool doesn't work on NON English versions of Vista.

you used the following code:

process.StartInfo.FileName = "icacls";
		process.StartInfo.Arguments = file + " /grant Administrators:(F)";

Administrators is the name on english Vistas, but on non english version the identification of the group Administrators is translated. For Example Administratoren in german. So you code doesn't work. You have to change the string according to the installed langauge.

Thanks for that

EDIT:

Please try attached version and tell me if it is fixed. Thanks

ok, I will try it out this evening, when I'm at home.

Hi XPero,

this version grants access to the user Administrator, but not the group Administratoren (Administrators).

I think I've found another way of doing it. I will update the app soon this week or the next. Thanks for all Andre.

[MagicAndre1981]

ok, no problem. I will test the new version asap after you release it

[MagicAndre1981]

any progress with the new version?

[XPero]

No sorry. I will post this week for sure.

[MagicAndre1981]

ok, I will wait

[XPero]

Boooh, It doesnt work I will be adding a textbox, so people can supply "Administrators" in their own language.

[XPero]

OK, beta 2 out in 1st post Please Andre test this one. I think it is fixed. Cheers

[MagicAndre1981]

no, it still doesn't work on my German Vista

[MagicAndre1981]

Hi XPero, you used "BUILDIN\Adminstrators" to grant control. This code snippet retrives the translated Name (in German: VORDEFINIERT\Administratoren"). I hope this will work. Could you include this code into your tool?

string getName(WellKnownSidType wksid)
{
	 SecurityIdentifier sid = new SecurityIdentifier(wksid, null);
	 NTAccount account = (NTAccount)sid.Translate(typeof(NTAccount));
	 return account.Value;
}


getName(WellKnownSidType.BuiltinAdministratorsSid)
