Can't change permission to "full control": Access is Denied.
Hello,
I am trying to free up a bunch of files that I royally stuffed up. I originally attempted to restrict access to a folder tree. When I tried getting access to them using my administrator password, however, I was denied. I am able to take ownership using my Administrator account (takeown /f in the command prompt). But when I give all the accounts and groups Full Control in the security tab of the folder I originally restricted, I hit "Apply" and I run into the following message: "An error occurred while applying security information to: <<filename>> Access is denied." I can free up individual files by first taking ownership of them with the Admin account then giving myself full control. Unfortunately we're talking about hundreds of files. I can't spend all day doing this. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestions you all may have. Cheers.
