Features and Benefits

Features	Benefits
Multi-Threaded Architecture	Productivity increases dramatically because operations can now take place in separate windows, giving administrators the ability to perform multiple functions simultaneously and continue working while those operations run in the background.
Instant Access to Security and Permissions	No more navigating through files, folders and registry keys selecting Properties and trying to find the Advanced button to see a complete security list! Security Explorer's interface allows for easy navigation of files, folders, registry keys, shares and printers, and instantly shows both assigned and inherited permissions.
Comprehensive Security Management	Security Explorer lists the current security settings, and allows full granting, revoking and modifying of permissions on NTFS volumes, the registry, file shares, printers, services and tasks as well as cloning permissions between accounts for AD and NT4 migrations.
Performance-minded Management	Local caching of permissions matched with the ability to cancel the retrieval of permissions (in the case of large folder structures, etc) allow more time to manage and less time waiting on returning results.
Local and Enterprise-Wide Access	Centralize management as Security Explorer manages security on both the local server as well as multiple remote servers.
Outlook-style Look and Feel	Security Explorer now has an updated look, and a more powerful and flexible interface.
Integrated with Windows Explorer	Many Security Explorer functions are integrated into the right-click menu in Windows Explorer. Additionally, more Windows Explorer functions are now available within Security Explorer, which means much less switching between windows!
Backup and Restore Permissions	Recovery from accidental changes to security settings has never been easier! Security Explorer can backup complete sets of permissions for files and folders, without having to backup the data they contain. Security Explorer can also capture permissions for registry keys, shares and printers. Administrators can then select any combination of files, folders, registry keys, printers and shares to recover those permissions, without affecting the underlying data or resources.
Permission Searches	Find security weaknesses and over-privileged users as Security Explorer lets administrators search for specific assignments to all types of user and group, including permissions received through group memberships and inheritance, or where a user or group does not have a specific permission.
Export Security Settings in Multiple Formats	Security Explorer can export a database or spreadsheet listing the permissions on files or folders anywhere in the directory tree.
Administrative Override	No more "Access Denied" when setting permissions! Security Explorer can instantly modify the security settings of file and folders that administrators would normally have to change to go through multiple steps to access.
Assign Ownership	Administrators can use Security Explorer to assign ownership to files and folders without the need for the Take Ownership right.
Command Line Management	Security Explorer has a full command line interface so you can script and schedule permission management.
Better Client Support	Security Explorer can manage servers and desktops enterprise-wide from any Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista machine.
Service and Tasks Management	Security Explorer can centrally search for services and tasks based on relevant criteria. Once a group of services or tasks have been identified, making changes to one or more service properties is as simple as selecting the appropriate services or tasks and choosing Properties. You can now easily change your service or task account passwords on a large number of computers with just a few clicks.
Local Account Management	Security Explorer can centrally search for local user accounts including all accounts that have local administrative rights. Once these accounts are located, you can easily change the account passwords, rename the accounts, change group membership settings and manage other account properties from a central console.
