Windows File Permissions

[andrewjm]

Okay, somehow I did something really stupid and accidently deleted the 'Everyone' security allow on a folder and now I really need to access it. Whenever I click it, it says access denied.

Is there some program that will bypass the windows share permissions? I am trying DOS right now, but I'm not sure if its going to work.

Anyway to get this working? Maybe reset the permissions? Even administrator wont be allowed to view it.

As I recall...You can go to my computer then right click your operating system Hard drive..click properties then security...reset the permissions including all sub directries, go to advance and reset the whole OS... You know add yourself, system, administrator, owner and so on, but not Everone....

Good Luck

What Buzzard is talking about, I think, is "Taking Ownership." That's what you need to do. Administrators can always take ownership, and then give themself permission to access a resource.

yes u just click on Take Ownership and say Ok ..
and also dont forget to click on propogate to child objects..
otherwise each and every file and folder needs to be set individually..
