You can use the CACLS.EXE (Change ACLs) tool to view/add/remove permissions.

Hi thanks for the reply, i used cacls.exe for retriving folder permissions but how do i use it for retriving folder permissions that have different permission from the parent folder

by p.j.hutchison

You mean just display the folder specific permissions and ignore the inherited permissions?

Use the result and filter it with FIND e.g.
cacls . | find "(CI)" /N

which exclude ACLS with container inheritance.
