I'm working on a custom settings script for Windows that will automate specific settings I want on a new Windows machine or installation. I grant access to some folders using cacls in my script, but I am prompted with the Y/N prompt for each listed item. I would like to bypass this by automatically saying "yes" for each folder or file I specify. I am aware of the risks with this and have had no issues thus far. Here is an example of one such directory in my script:
cacls "%PROGRAMFILES%WindowsApps" /grant Administrators:f
windows permissions batch cacls

You can pipe Y into cacls using echo:
echo Y | cacls "%PROGRAMFILES%WindowsApps" /grant Administrators:f
The
CACLScommand does not provide a/Yswitch to automatically answer'Y'to theY/Nprompt. However, you can pipe the'Y'character into theCACLScommand usingECHO, use the following syntax:ECHO Y| CACLS filename /g username:permission

Use this syntax:
echo y| cacls.exe [options]...
Note that the command-line needs to be written exactly as above, including the
blanks (see link).
