    Made a mess of C:\users\public security


    Files within c:\users\public folder have been reset to owner "Administrators" and all security is gone. Inhereted security from c:\users\public is still there on all files and folders. What security is the default on a normal windows 7 machine?

    Please send me outpu of follwing commands

    dir/q/a c:\users\public
    icacls c:\users\public\*.*
    ------------------------------
    sample output of my machine

    C:\Users\Public>dir /q/a c:\users\public
    De volumenaam van station C is System
    Het volumenummer is A0D5-0A47
    Map van c:\users\public

    C:\Users>
    So no deny acl on any file or folder. Everything is inhereted as well. (I)
    I did add everyone full access on c:\users\public and NT SERVICE\WMPNetworkSvc was added automatically when disabling and enabling sharing in windows media player. Everyone has full control so caring about acl is not necessery.

    recorded tv folder: also everyone has full control. but also a few explicit acls. I don't use this folder so i don't care.

    Only problem left: security of folder c:\users\public\desktop
    security is according to you
    NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVEOI)(CI)(RX)=>so read and execute i assume
    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEMOI)(CI)(F) =>full control

    not inhereted!!
    thanx a lot. I'll ask security of c:\users\public\desktop in a seperate thread
