Re: Help: How to restore to default NTFS security/file permissions

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



For starters, I am unable to run System Restore, User Groups, Windows
Explorer. The hour glass momentarily appears and then goes away. With
Win Explorer, the little dog appears but that's about it. Obviously,
the rights have been comprimised within the Windows files. Installing
AVG (anti-virus) works but will not allow me to update as an error
message appears afterwards. I even tried booting into safe mode and
selecting the last known good configuration. Initially, I tried
uninstalling AVG but I didnt have the rights to do so (in admin mode).
Then I changed the permissions of the AVG directory and I could delete
it manually.

I would like to reestablish the administrator rights to all applicable
windows folders and registry settings. There must be a template and
program that will allow one to view all the rights of
files/folders/registry and then to overide the existing rights? This
is where the problem is. If I know what the default permissions
are/should be, I can change the permissions. As stated before, going
in file by file or directory by directory to change permissions didn't
remedy the problem. As it stands, my system is in a vulnerable
position since I dont have any antivirus running.
