Remove "Object Inherit" from folder

$

I have a folder, within which are a collection of files. I have a problem where users of a certain group are inadvertently changing the permissions of the files by accessing the files, changing something, and saving those changes.

I used cacls to view the permissions on the folder and I believe my problem is with the "OI" attribute being set (snippet below):

domain\group:(OI)(CI)(special access:)

OI is "Object Inherit - The ACE will be inherited by files".

How can I remove this OI attribute? I read that icacls might do the trick, but is this the right syntax:

icacls "Folder Name" /inheritance:d

Wanted to get some input from others before I jack up these permissions any further.
