Re: how to reset file/folders permissions?

 

 

 

sorry about that, first time posting, and I wasn't sure what was going on.

 

I'm trying to do this (reset permissions) but I don't have a "Use Simple

File Sharing" box in the view tab of my folder options box.

 

I wonder if it's because I messed up my permissions so thoroughly.

 

See, I'm running a dual boot with XP home and Vista buisiness (64-bit) and I

foolishly changed the ownership of the "Documents and Settings" folder on the

XP Drive to my Vista Profile, and now of course I can't get into my XP

profile.

 

I created a new account to try to change permissions back, but as I said,

the box I need to uncheck isn't even visible.

 

Any Ideas?
