Guest WWII Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Is there a way to reset all of the file and folder permissions to their default values in XP Pro? Thanks
Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted August 9, 2007 Posted August 9, 2007 Re: Reset permissions See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222 Read the "Secedit parameters" thoroughly before proceeding. <Q> After security settings are applied, you cannot undo the changes without restoring from a backup. If you are uncertain about resetting your security settings back to the default security settings, you must make a complete backup that includes the "System State" (the registry files). Items that are reset include NTFS file system files and folders, the registry, policies, services, privilege rights, and group membership. </Q> -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "WWII" <wweldin@comcast.net> wrote in message news:8rmdnb1ELYKNrSfbnZ2dnUVZ_r-vnZ2d@comcast.com...
