    Use their Username assigned to them.
    Do not do it on the C drive...

    ? also, now under the security tab under properties on my data drive, Users(Cloud\Users) is missing from groups or user names, which solved my problem of not allowing guests to get into my data drive, but if i want to change that in the future, how do i do that?

    Alright download this:
    Run As System for Windows 7 - Run programm as system account - Windows 7 Download
    (Already sent the file thought a virus scan: VirusTotal - Free Online Virus, Malware and URL Scanner )

    You are then going to run the .exe by using "Run as Admin".
    Type in "cmd" this will open a command prompt.
    Then type into the command prompt:
    Code:
    icacls Z:\ /remove:d Users
    icacls Z:\ /grant [YOUR USERNAME HERE]:(F)
    Next time you have the urge to change permissions of things come to us first.

    hi guys, i just did the stupidest mistake and did exactly the same... So i denied permissions to one of my disks (not system) and now i cant undo it

    i tried what you said here but it constantly says "E:\ Access is denied. Successfully processed 0 files; Failed processing 1 files"


    pls help

    ty in advance
