Permissions issue

May 3 2011 9:56 AM

I am the administrator for the whole system (network) and I have done something by accident (in active directory) which is preventing all users on one of the computers on the network (webdev computer) from accessing it's own C drive (access denied).

Furthermore, when I am logged into the Windows server 2008 as "Administrator", I look under "Network" and click into the "webdev" section. I see 3 folders ("program files", "users" and "win7"). I am able to access the "program files" and "users" folders, but NOT the "win7" folder. (error code 0x80070005 Access is denied).

What I think happened is that the "owner" of the "win7" folder within the WebDev C drive was changed by accident (therefore affecting access to the whole C drive for any user on the WebDev computer). However, when I try and change the "owner", it will not allow me to (it says, "you do not have permission to view or edit this objects permission settings").

Any help would be appreciated.
