Re: NetworkService and LocalService accounts

\Documents and Settings\LocalService
and
\Documents and Settings\NetworkService
are Hidden folders.

So is
\Documents and Settings\Default User

HOW TO: Search For Hidden Or System Files In Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302347

To display Hidden files and folders...

Start | Settings | Control Panel | Folder Options | View tab
Check:
Display the contents of system folders
and
Show hidden files and folders
UNCheck:
Hide extensions for known file types
and
Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
Click Apply | Click OK

When you uncheck: Hide protected operating system files,
you will get this message...

Click YES.

typical items.]]

In news:uWdTq$NCHHA.4764@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Les <les@xxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I have a situation where one of the helpdesk techs reset permissions on
the entire Docs&Settings folder on 10 PCs. (thus inheriting from the C:
drive).

I have fixed all of the profiles and folders except the NetworkService and
LocalService profiles as I can't seem to find these accounts in the
listing.

Does anyone know of a way to re-add these accounts short of re-imaging?
Aretheir SIDs consistent so if I go to a working machine and derive its
SID I can use that to add it to the others?

TIA,
Les Bowman
