Hi young man fighters :-)
I have saved this description of how to reset some of the Windows Permissions to the default values for educational purposes, now I'm gonna share information technology for the same reason.
IF you are going to attemt this process, I desire you to employ system restore by opening a elevated command prompt, and type: systempropertiesprotection
When you practice this stride, the system backdrop window will open, and at the bottom, there is a option that is asking you to create a restore indicate on the disk that supports this activity.
Click CREATE, Choose a proper name for the restore point, and click CREATE again and then you are washed when the loading finishes.
Now.
I promise Y'all accept your system seriously. If you cull to not take a fill-in of your arrangement as described to a higher place, and you proceed with the following instructions, that's your call..
1. Download subinacl.msi from the following link, and save information technology on the desktop:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en#AffinityDownloads (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8ba3e56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en#AffinityDownloads)
2. On the desktop, double-click subinacl.msi to install the tool.
3. Select C:\Windows\System32 as the destination binder.
Note: This step assumes that Windows is installed in C:\Windows. If Windows is installed elsewhere, select the appropriate path to .\System32.
Are you With me so far? This is the installation of the Windows native tool to modify permissions of whole areas at the time, instead of i-past-one folders/files ...
The next instructions will able you lot to create a script compatible with the installed SUBINACL, you can edit this entries as you please if you are experienced:
4. Open Notepad.
v. Re-create the following commands and and so paste them into the opened Notepad window:
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=organization=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
6. In Notepad click File, Save As, so blazon: reset.cmd
7. In Notepad click Save equally blazon, and so select All Files (*.*).
8. Salvage the reset.cmd-file to your desktop, and close Notepad.
9. Double-click the reset.cmd-file to reset the Windows Update permissions.
10. Press whatever primal to consummate the installation.
So, my friends, install this program that helps yous get a overview of all your systems permissions:
1. http://download.sysinternals.com/files/AccessEnum.zip
2. UNZIP TO ANY LOCATION
iii. RUN ACCESSENUM.EXE
There y'all have total command over your calculator and organization permissions, if you ran the script in the instructions, you should be able to locate the permissions of any searched folder.
Just gathering useful resources here guys, you may go through this instructions differently based on experience, but always keep in mind to take a system backup, that is never a bad idea

@Myles,
I had the same trouble but I figured it out. The subinacl.msi bundle is not actually copying the subinacl.exe file to the c:\windows\system32 binder when you run information technology. What I ended up doing was reinstalling subinacl, this fourth dimension installing it to another folder (in my case the desktop). Information technology extracts three files. And then I copied the files over to the system32 folder manually and it worked!

1. Download subinacl.msi from the following link, and salvage it on the desktop:

If the in a higher place link has issues in that location is a second link
In that location is a new link for this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23510#AffinityDownloads
Or yous can seek on the Knowledge Base ... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222
Tis article is for windows vista but i works too for windows 7.
Just run in a evalated prompt the following control.
For windows 7 but use secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\inf\defltbase.inf /db defltbase.sdb /verbose

@ genistas & @Myles
Cracking!
The steps were written as I did the whole procedure myself, so this problem may exist occurring when your UAC is activated, while mine was not.

Howdy. I saw this thread and wondered if this would assist my problem. A few days ago, I began noticing a problem with transfering files to another location. I had pictures that I renamed and placed into my pictures folder. When I tried to support the pictures to my NAS, the files were inaccessible. I checked the files and they were locked in the sense that I could not copy, move, delete or rename the file. I that the files afflicted lost their security properties (No groups or users have permission to admission this object). I found that if I inverse the security contour of the folder or file (right click, properties, security, edit, and put in "arrangement" and my username), I volition gain access. I am at a loss equally to why this is happening with file movement. Now I have to reset all the settings in each folder for every file that tin't exist backed up. I am hoping to reset the security settings back to default and then that I tin can get the files copied easily. Will this program work for my problem? I take a Win seven computer 64bit. Thanks.

@Curious D
That you describe is most likely caused by the excisting permissions on the hard-drive,
or it may exist a faulty hard drive in either end of the file transfer.
This detail problem often occur if some update is practical, and so the ability to the computer is cut off of a sudden, then it's but an incomplete file transfer.
The permissions is described by the SACL for each file, "System Admission Control Listing", and sometimes this is non transferred completely with the files.
A possible solution is to check that the permissions for the actual Hard-drive is inherited by files that is transferred to it:
Right-click C:/D:/K: -> Properties(menuitem) -> Security(tab) -> Avant-garde(Button) -> permissions(tab) -> modify permissions(button) -> Set Full Control for admins, yourself and system, & read/write for "Users" -> Check "Replace all kid object permissions with inheritable......." -> Click Utilise(button) -> OK->OK->OK
Done :-)
If this does non assist, something is wrong with hard-drives, or y'all have some kind of malware lurking..

Thanks for the reply.
I tried to change the root folder then that I don't have to alter the subfolders, but I get this error in applying the settings with a "The access control list (ACL) structure is invalid" message. Then all the subfolders have a padlock on them and I have to go to all the affected folders and reset the security permission. If I move a file into a folder that does not have the security settings (ie no grouping has permission to admission files), the files lose the security settings that they had before being moved. Is there another style to reset all of the permission? Is the method described in this thread a manner to become all folders and subfolders right if simply changing the drive security setting isn't working?

@Curious D
This line in the script does the settings on your system drive:
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
Just change %SystemDrive% to exist your NAS drive letter, and "administrators" can be changed to your ain username on the computer.
To lose the padlock from files and folders, yous accept to grant the group "Users" read/write permissions.
Is the method described in this thread a way to get all folders and subfolders right if simply changing the drive security setting isn't working?
The method described does not include every hard-bulldoze on your computer, you have to create new lines that includes the other drive messages.
%SystemDrive% for example only means in most cases your C: drive, environment variables defines that. But basically yep.
You should also brand sure that you are the owner of the secondary deejay. NB!! Do not take buying over %SystemDrive%!

Hither y'all have lines for the script to prepare the default owner on Plan Files folders:
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive%\Program Files /setowner=NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller /grant=NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller=f
subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86) /setowner=NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller /grant=NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller=f
/grant=[DomainName\]User[=Access] volition add a Permission Ace for the user. if Access is not specified, the Full Control access will be granted. File: F : Total Control C : Change R : Read P : Modify Permissions O : Accept Ownership X : eXecute East : Read eXecute W : Write D : Delete ClusterShare: F : Full Control R : Read C : Modify Printer: F : Full Control M : Manage Documents P : Impress KeyReg: F : Full Control R : Read A : ReAd Control Q : Query Value S : Set Value C : Create SubKey Due east : Enumerate Subkeys Y : NotifY L : Create Link D : Delete W : Write DAC O : Write Owner Service: F : Full Control R : Generic Read W : Generic Write X : Generic eXecute L : Read controL Q : Query Service Configuration S : Query Service Condition E : Enumerate Dependent Services C : Service Change Configuration T : Start Service O : End Service P : Suspension/Keep Service I : Interrogate Service U : Service User-Defined Control Commands Share: F : Full Command R : Read C : Change Metabase: F : Full Control R : Read - MD_ACR_READ West : Write - MD_ACR_WRITE I : Restricted Write - MD_ACR_RESTRICTED_WRITE U : Unsecure props read - MD_ACR_UNSECURE_PROPS_READ Due east : Enum keys- MD_ACR_ENUM_KEYS D : write Dac- MD_ACR_WRITE_DAC Process: F : Full Command R : Read W : Write Ten : eXecute SamObject: F : Full Control W : Write R : Read X : Execute

Ok I followed this procedure to the letter. It's not my first rodeo with cmd files or batch files. The trouble is when I run the cmd file the command prompt appears and immediately disappears. Cypher has been inverse because I still have a zillion screwed up permissions interfering with my need to delete a file. And then my question is what am I doing wrong or what is wrong with the install on my computer? Thanks Jerry

Jerryh3. Place a break at the end of your batch file and meet if you run into the error at present.
If not save as a new file "test" and add just one line and run it to run into if part of it work and progress from in that location.

Beginning of all, allow me say that this is GREAT! And thank yous very much. It still does non quite help me but we are on the correct track.
I'm trying to open some PDFs. I become "access denied" and I'm now bold that information technology is because I copied the files from one drive to another and probably lost permissions in the process. Make sense?
After I run this script and do the scan as suggested I encounter that some of the folders are marked "Admission is Denied" nether the Read cavalcade. When I try to open the file with Adobe I get "access denied". When I alter the security to add "Anybody" with "Full Access" I am able to open the file.
O.Grand. So how could I run the script to let total access to "Everyone", in so far as that will not pause the system for some files.
Thoughts?

Oh, and while you are mulling that i over 
I have another trouble. When I attempt to update Windows some of the updates Ever fail. They requite a message about a resource not beingness institute and present a popup box allowing me to say where a CD is located. I think they are looking for an installation CD but I don't take ane. This is a modern system that came with no disks. I think the about common failure is on updates to C++. Is this also some kind of permission trouble? Or is it something else altogether?
Thank you once again.
