Untrue. chmod as a command does not exist on Win32, unless you add it yourself via, the POSIX package in the Windows resource Kit, via Cygwin or via Perl Power Tools or the like.

However, file ownership/permission systems are most definitely supported by Windows NT and its descendants, Windows 2000 and XP.

In fact, permissions and access restrictions are far more sophisticated and fine grained in NT than in ordinary Unix systems (there are ACL systems available for some Unix variants).

The command used to modify these permissions from the command line is called cacls. Type cacls /h for details.
