How do i take ownership of a folder that i have removed
the everyone group? I can no longer access the folder at
all.
things that i have tried
1. Log on locally as admin and Enterprise admin
2. tried RK command line util.

It seems now that no one can access this folder and have
no way of restoring the original permissions?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

thanks.
