how to reset files permission in win2000 advance server
- Thread starter acung
- Start date
Why are some files inaccessible acung?
As long as there is administrative acess to all the folders/files in the directory structure then resetting the permissions using the 'Reset permissions...and enable propogation..' option should work.
I take it that you are logging-on as Administrator?
If there are no administrative permissions set on folders or files in the directory you will get an access denied message - in this case you would need to take ownership of the folders/files manually which would create an administrative entry in the permissions.
Hope this helps
