Permission Denied to an Administrator

I accidently pressed the deny permission to my 'C' drive and can no longer
access any programs nor view my 'c' drive. An error message says I do not
have permission even though I have administrative rights. I cannot change the
settings to regain access to my 'c' drive. I am using Vista Premium and
cannot turn on or off UAC or right click and run as admistrator. I tried
running the script seclpol.msc but because I do not have access to the drive
it wont run. Please help. Are there any suggestions on how I can regain my
access to 'c' drive. Oddly enogh I can view my documents and can restart my
pc.

Re: Permission Denied to an Administrator

Can you restart it in safe mode and do anything from there?

Not that this helps, but I have exactly the same problem. I have denied myself access privileges to the C: Drive as well. I see this is a fairly old thread- did you ever work out a solution? Reading through your entire original post, my problem is a carbon copy of yours- anything you found out would be extremely helpful to me right now. Thanks!
