Reset public folder permissions windows 7

Thanks for your input. Tuesday, January 12, PM. Did you receive a "Task is completed" message, and a warning message that something could not be done???? Hi there I am running Windows 7 Ultimate bit. Yes, I did get the 'task completed' and 'warning' message, indicating that things were normal.

If you say that this procedure resets the "security" settings to default, then I am assuming you mean the "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security" settings.

Actually, when I said "security permissions" I was refering to the "Advanced Security for Users" settings. Perhaps I should have been clearer with my request for help. Is there a quick way to reset all the permissions for the "Advanced Security for Users" to the default settings? Hopefully this has clarified things.

File and folder access. My home 7 workstation suffered a thermal event CPU fan died.. Wednesday, January 13, AM. Wednesday, January 13, PM. Thursday, February 3, PM. Any suggestions?

Microsoft Technet showed a command that helps a bit. Do we "run as Administrator", or something more? Where is the best place to run this command? Why is this command resetting object permissions, but leaving in place corrupt file ownership? Symantec is getting tired of my complaints, and their bug tool can't find a known virus, so they are "not interested".

What if someone is making new viruses using my system? Sunday, January 15, AM. Just do it. Both reg and folders are security are changed. Carefull though, administrator account is disabled again.

Just googled for the user profile location - are they in the users folder with the rest of the files?

Could it be that easy? Please read the entire paragraph Thursday, June 27, PM. Hello After using the "Solution"offered by Microsoft the command which ruined your settings , some standard user accounts might not show on your screen when you start your computer or when you change a user account. On the Permissions tab, under Permissions , choose a permissions level from the list. Permissions descend from Owner , with all the rights, to Contributor , with the fewest rights. After you choose a permissions level, you can fine-tune the permissions by selecting buttons or checking and unchecking boxes.

If you do that, the Permission Level for the user or group will change to Custom. In the example shown here, Diane and Kim have the built-in Author and Publishing Editor permission levels. Vernon was assigned to the Editor level, which was then customized to allow him to delete his own items.

To find the users or contact groups you want to assign to that permissions level, click Add. In the Global Address List, select the users and contact groups you want, clicking Add after selecting each one. As you add users or groups, they appear in the box to the right of the Add button.

To learn more about setting permissions and how they work, read the "Do I have to apply permissions to share my files with other users on my computer?
