I am just about to enrol on an mcse course so I am playing about creating user accounts and policies on my own computer, however while logged in as myself (administrator) I added XP/All Users to the security tab of C: and placed deny access to the drive. As now I am locked out of my own drive. I assumed as I am in an adminsitrative account this would not apply to me and now when i try access security tab from c:'s properties it wont allow me

View 2 Replies View RelatedI reinstalled Windows XP Pro over the current version as I was having problems. I did a complete install instead of a repair, wasn't paying attention. I did make a complete backup of my hard drive prior to reinstalling. I now do not see any of the files or modem setups in my start menu. What files do I need to copy from the backup instead of having to reload all the programs from scratch?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis will sound really like a really stupid thing to have done, but basically i followed a troubleshooting article on the microsoft website to try and fix an error on my PC, (every time i shut down i get a big blue screen thing). Part of what it suggested was removing a number of files from the registry. I did this but unfortnatly i seem to have just made things worse. The error message still appears when i shutdown but now i seem to have deleted something needed for my CD drive as this now says that the regisry is corrupted in its error box. Is there any way of getting the files i deleted back ( i did not make any backups).I am running windows 2000 and the files i deleted were Cdralw2k and Cdr4_2k

It also runs a program in called ipconfig.exe that never seems to finish running

View 7 Replies View RelatedWe have a user that went to grant someone access to a folder on the network. They did this from there desktop, not the server, and now no one can access the folder. Not even an administrator login. I'm assuming they got the warning about changing permissions remotley, but he swears he didn't see anything like that. Now we have a couple of users that have icons that don't work because they're coming from that folder.Any way to change those permissions back? I know the permissions default to something.
View 12 Replies View RelatedThe other day, I moved some files+folders outside of a folder just to organize things. I tried to put them back inside and I kept getting the "Cannot move file, it's being used.." error. I was pretty sure I wasn't using any of the files so I checked the permissions to find that under the security tab, inside the "Group or user name" was completely empty without any user names. I fixed it by adding my user name. This has happened before. A few months ago, I couldn't access any folders and files in this one particular folder without getting the "Acess denied" message. I found out that all my files and folders within that folder had no user names under the security tab which was a pain because I have over 100s of files in there and the only sure way to change the permission is to do them almost one by one.
I was wondering if there were any particular reason why it's doing this. I'm pretty sure that this computer is virus free and I almost never turn off the "Use simple file sharing" under the folder tool section. I've only played around with the permissions once over 5 months ago and I haven't touched it since. Also, is there a way to change every permission within one folder so that I won't have to do them manually one by one?
I have Fedora Core 6 and use KDE.Is there a way to see permissions by using the command line, so you can see the results of a "chmod" command? I know you can see permissions by right clicking the file in Konqueror.

How to access *Advance file Permissions* on NTFS file systems for XP Home simply by booting into *Safe Mode*, rt-clicking any file or folder, and navigating to the *Security tab*. This gives the user the ability to allow or deny read, write, execute, read & write, display contents, full-control, iheritance, and take ownership permissions, with many more options available to apply to different users and groups stored on the computer.Well, you don't have to do this in *Safe Mode* (XP Home).
Go to your command prompt - Start>All Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt. Now type "cacls" in the window (without the quotes). This gives you the ability to add, remove or modify file permissions on files and folders through the command prompt. Type "cacls /?" for help on different options and variables. You do not need to be in safe mode to use this so it makes it a little quicker than using the safe mode security tab GUI.Remember - this only applies to NTFS.WHY the system crashed ?(ie. faulty hardware/software/conflicts, etc)

I was trying to restric the access of the power users to certain folders and I deleted the groups and users by mistake that could have access. I add the administrator group to get access to the drive and folders, but windows doesn't propagate the permissions to the subfolders and files. Windows let me do it folder by folder, and file by file, but it will take forever taking into consideration that that partition of the drive has 40GB of informations and houndreds of folders and subfolders. Does some body know the way to propagate the permissions to all the subfolders and files?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was attempting to set permissions on my two NTFS formatted external harddrives and essentially deny users and guests the right to create/delete any files on the drive but I guess it somehow managed to restrict that right for EVERYONE. Not even in safe mode as the Adminstrator can I even look at the permissions and apparently it will not even allow me to open any files either. I cannot copy files to another drive and I cannot open or run any executables. Is there any way at all for me to reset the permissions for this particular drive or perhaps alter them to work the way that they rest of them work for me. I can't for the life of me understand how the Administrator cannot access the files on a folder and I don't exactly know what higher privileged user type exists. I really don't want to have to reformat the drive because it's got about 350 gigs of videos/music/programs.
