I accidentally set the permission of Everyone of a folder to no control, now I cannot change to permission setting because I have no control, I cannot delete the folder.
Is this process reversible?
If you want further information on why I did this and how I cannot change back, read the following:
So I have this great software called Xunlei or Thunder for super fast downloading and torrenting, but it sometimes fires a ad popup on startup. So I want to change the permission of the popup .exe folder so it won't get opened. Being confused for a moment, I changed the "Everyone" permission (Saw this the first time) to Deny All Control, and you know being a Win 7 user, you OK wherever there's a User Control Alert. Then, I wanted to changed back because The software fires a alert constantly, saying "Cannot Access File"... That's the story.
1what do you mean "no control"? And Everyone is the only user on that folder? Try to take ownership of the folder- Goto Folder Options in the control panel, select the "View" tab and uncheck "Use Sharing Wizard". Now go back to the folder and right click and goto Security | Advance | etc... – Logman – 2013-07-12T01:44:26.387
