File Permissions Check 1.0.0 by Cjwdev is a Windows utility designed for system administrators who need to audit and correct NTFS permission inconsistencies across network shares and local folders. The application offers a lightweight, single-version interface that recursively scans selected directories to identify files whose access-control entries deviate from the parent folder’s inherited rights, either because inheritance has been broken or because additional explicit permissions have been applied. Scan criteria can be refined to skip system files or to limit traversal depth, reducing noise in large file systems. After analysis, results are presented in a sortable grid and can be exported to CSV or HTML for documentation or further processing in external audit tools. From the same window, administrators can select any subset of flagged items and push a bulk corrective action that re-enables inheritance and strips unwanted explicit permissions, restoring a consistent security model without manual property dialogs. Typical use cases include preparing file servers for compliance audits, remediating permissions drift after data migrations, and ensuring that departmental shares remain aligned with corporate policy. The program sits in the System Utilities category and requires no installation, running as a portable executable that can be launched from a USB drive on any supported Windows host. File Permissions Check is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest version and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
