Practical No. 04: Apply security to file folder or application using access permissions and verify.
I. Practical Significance
By setting permissions, it specify what users are allowed to do within that folder, such as save and delete files
or create a new folder.
Hence student should be able to apply security to file folder or application using access permisions like -Full
Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, and Write.

VII. Minimum Theoretical Background
Every file and every folder in Windows has its own set of permissions. Permissions can be broken down
into Access Control Lists with users and their corresponding rights.
Permissions are also either inherited or not. Normally in Windows, every file or folder gets their permissions
from the parent folder. This hierarchy keeps going all the way up to the root of the hard drive. The simplest
permissions have at least three users: SYSTEM, currently logged in user account and the Administrators group.
These permissions usually come from the C:\Users\Username folder on your hard drive.
There are basically six types of permissions in Windows: Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder
Contents, Read, and Write.
