permissions on win32 [Q]

[Bruno Mattarollo]

Thanks Mark...

	All this is supposed to run on sunday and it's Mission Critical, so I
presume wiill be doing it by hand, but anyway thanks. I am looking forward
to be able to do this on NT... :-)

	FYI we will be running another mission critical process on Sunday and it
will be a small Python app that will run on NT ... I love Python ... :-)

	Cheers,

/B
