    Permission settings from Desktop - Windows 7 32 Home Premium


    Dear Forum,

    I recently changed computer and therefore had to use a external hard drive.

    I have placed some documents onto the desktop until l
    1. I figure out where to locate it.
    2. I also recently had the Windows Update crash my documents and altered the settings - after looking how to do it.
    Recycle Bin Corrupt and Permission settings confusion - external hdd

    I followed a prior thread and my Command Prompt has not moved from the last command

    To solve the desktop issue: (also elevated command prompt)

    Code:
    cd %userprofile%
    You see C:\users\<your name> now.

    Code:

    icacls Contacts /reset /T /C
    icacls Desktop /reset /T /C
    icacls Documents /reset /T /C
    icacls Downloads /reset /T /C
    icacls Favorites /reset /T /C
    icacls Links /reset /T /C
    icacls Music /reset /T /C
    icacls Pictures /reset /T /C
    icacls "Saved Games" /reset /T /C
    icacls Searches /reset /T /C
    icacls Videos /reset /T /C


    icacls appdata /reset /T /C


    Is this common thing to happen?

    I am being patient. I am glad that I had assistance from this forum. Better than others.

    I am hopeless. I think I was inpatient, and perfectionist and should not go into items I should not. I am now going through all the issues of retrieving everything from the recycle bin. That caused a multitude of problems. I also have invested in a couple of external hard drives from a nurse that felt sorry for me.

    I have left most things alone - I lacked a lot of energy and had no time.

    Thanks

    I am more concern about the permission settings at the moment as I am constantly getting the message "access denied"
    I had to change machines whilst putting everything on to a hard drive.

    The command prompt seems to be working again - just stopped at Symantec.

    I am sorry for the confusing message

    I am just wondering the first link that you have suggested - would that work for Window 7.

    I am only a beginner - trusted the senior member and it worked in the first instance.

    Thanks for your helpful links.

    I was unsure who should be the user on each of the files.
