This is a simple batch file based on the works of Matt Brailsford, Sebastiaan Janssen, Ove Anderson and others which prompts the user for the Application Pool name and sets the correct permissions to your local Umbraco install.
Easy to be extended and hopefully forked and expanded upon!
I take no credit in the initial creation of this script simply the extension and addtion of the user-prompt-ability.
Notes:
- It would need individual directory structure verification,
- built for Umbraco 4.11.x using MVC (hence the views directory path)
- NOT tested on v6.x but it shoud be a good place to start!

##Instructions:
- Simply copy this script and check your directory structure
- Navigate to and drop it in the following location:
C:\Users\[YOUR_USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\SetUmbracoPermissions.bat - Then right click on the root folder, and select “Send to > SetUmbracoPermissions.bat” to setup the relevant permissions.
Matt Brailsford noted on his page:
if you are NOT using Windows Server 2008, you’ll need to change your app pools identity to NETWORK SERVICE.
