Access Denied on a Drive where All Users list have been deleted in Security Tab
- by darkstar13
Hi All,
(System is Windows 7 x64)
I wanted to restrict access of other people in a certain drive of my computer (Harddisk 1 is partitioned to C & D; I want to restrict Drive D). What I did was go to the Security Tab (under Drive Properties) and remove the All Users entry. My account is an administrator account. I left only Systems and Administrator on the list. However, when I tried to access drive D, I got an Access Denied error, and Security Tab is already missing.
I tried to edit Local Group Policy; it does not work.
Take Ownership is not available for the Drive as well, but I see it enabled if I select files / folders.
Please help. Thanks.
Also, I am wondering why, as an Administrator, have my access to that drive denied.
