Creating/Amending Access Control Lists from VB.NET

I am trying to give local machine users full access to a folder on their machine.
I am logging in to the local machine as a member of the administrators group but I am still unable to programatically grant access to the users group.
I have tried running the CACLS utility through the shell function and also tried running a batch file but with no success.
I have played about with the cacls utility including trying the
echo y| cacls myfolder /E /G users:F
method suggested by Microsoft.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Can it be solved without resorting to using the Shell command?
