    Restore folder default folder access settings


    Guys I made big mess.

    My brother asked me if he could use my laptop when I'm away. I set him guest account, went to D drive, right click than properties, security, and sett deny ticks on the wrong profile - mine. Then I tickes that I'm the owner and everything is fine but a padlock symbol appeared on various folders on D drive. There is no more list of users when I go on properties.settings except administrator. I tried to system restore, but still the same..

    Pls give me an advice how to restore everything to default!

    thanks in advancr

    Were you able to do a System Restore? I think you are indicating yes but I'm not sure.
