Problems after taking ownership of Windows folder
Hello.
I have experienced some weird behaviour after I followed a tutorial on how to replace the Win7 start orb. The tutorial advised me to take ownership of the full Windows folder (I also took ownership of all the files and subfolders, etc.).
After a restart I couldn't access my network shares any more (worked perfectly fine before). I can still ping all the computers in my network but I can't access their shared folders.
Another thing I noticed... I use a MCE (Media Center) remote control and some special buttons like play/pause etc. stopped working.
I'm not sure if it's related to taking the ownership of the Windows folder, but I think that's the most likely cause of my problems.
Anyway... is there a way to fix this? I already tried changing the ownership back to TrustedInstaller for all the (sub)folders and files, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
