Revert "Deny" permissions in Windows 7
- by saurabhj
I made a very dumb mistake and I am hoping there is a way to fix this without having to boot in through a Linux Live CD and extracting the data.
My user login to my Windows 7 system is: John
John is part of the Administrator's group.
I have a folder called "C:\Users\John"
I tried to make this folder accessible to ONLY John (and deny from all other Administrators) by going to the Folder, Right Click Secturity tab and then selecting all the checkboxes under "Deny" while having selected the "Administrators" group.
As a result, I cannot access this folder from any of the accounts: "John" and "Administrator" as both of them belong to the Administrators groupd and deny permissions out-weigh the "Allow Permissions"
Is there any way I could revert this back?
Thanks a million!
