i have rebuilt my win2k system.

in all partitions except the system partition,
that is, those partitions not changed by the rebuild,
most directories are no longer writeable and apparently all directories will
not allow to change the security settings.

this is true when i am logged on as Administrator.

on looking at the security settings of any of these directories with Windows
Explorer,
they sometimes have permissions for Everyone,
then usually a bunch of sids, such as S-1-5-21-1482476501-85245398-725345.

i have xcacls, but it fails everywhere with an access denied error.

how do i get privilege to restore permissions to a sane state?

i do not want to have to rebuild these partitions.
