Vista - Access Denied

Hi all
Could someone help me?
I have 2 accounts, one as administrator and another for guests.
As administrator i tried do deny access to my drive c: to the guets and i
did, no problems. I restarted the windows to start with guests account just
to see if worked the access to my drive c: and it did. My problems started
when i changed to my administrator account, i could not open my drive c: as
administrator. Looks like i lost administrator rights. Is that possible? and
worse i dont have any response from user accounts, i cant do anything in user
accounts. Any help?

Hello,

What specifically did you do to deny access to guests? Also, do you have a
Windows setup DVD?

Hello,

It looks like you denied all users by mistake. You can try to boot into Safe Mode and change what you did back to gain access again. This will show you how to boot into the Advanced Boot Options screen to select Safe Mode.

Well, i went to the properties of the drive and then security and selected
guests account and tick it on deny. I cannot remember exactly how i did, i
might tick the wrong user.
I dont have a windows setup DVD.

In the Security area this is the defaults for Allow:

Authenticated Users - Only Special Permissions checked for Allow.

SYSTEM - Everything checked except Special Permissions for Allow.

Administrators (your computer name\Adiministrators) - Everything checked except Special Permissions for Allow.

Users (your computer name\Users) - Only "Read & execute", "List folder contents", and "Read" checked for Allow.


You may need to take ownership of the drive to modify these. This will show you how.

Hope this helps you,
