    error 0x8007005 Access Denied

    64 bit windows home premium
    Get this error when trying to set a restore.



    It at least looks like I have ownership of c: with all the permissions.
    On permission, "Special permissions," is listed but not checked.

    What now?

    It says "access denied" but it doesn't say what is doing the denying. I
    took ownership of C: with all permissions. Then I took ownership of
    System Volume Information and all the subfolders, again with all the
    permissions.

    Before I took control they were owned by
    S-15-21-410127512-2602421584-3980761889-10. Who in the world is that? It
    is just astounding what Microsoft can come up with in terms of confusion
    and obfuscation.

    I've tried about a dozen solutions to my problem but nothing has worked
    so far. Still can't set a restore point. Everything else seems to work ok.
