How do I repair cacls

[TheAggie]

I am repairing a friend's computer that has virus/adware problems and was having NTFS access rights issues deleting some of the infected files so I thought I would make sure that Adminstrator had acccess to all the files. So, I went to the command prompt and types "CACLS C:\*.* /T /C /G Adminstrator:F". Notice anything missing (the /E) - OUCH!

Is there a simple rule/procedure I can follow to get the ACLS set back right.

P.S. The machine is XP Home

I do not think it possible to do under Home, only Pro. See:
