What commands are you using to reset the file permissions?

I have been dealing with WMI issues for months now on Windows 7 machines and absolutely everything we tried with regards to repairing / rebuilding WMI didn't work.  Then I found your All In One tool and voila(!), WMI is working again.  The only catch is that it wasn't your WMI repair that did the trick, it was the Reset File Permissions command.  We determined this by running only one task at a time on various computers and only running this command fixes the issue.  AWESOME!!!!  But, we would like to script the fix so we started playing with commands such as icacls but still can't fix it ourselves.  Would you please tell us what commands you are running for this task so we can zero in on the files and folders that are causing us grief so we can automate the fix?  Thank you so much.

Shane, you rock man!!!  Copied and pasted to my super secret files ;-)

I will think about some of the mega scripts I have written in the past to share with you to pay you back. 

Shane:
Sounds good to me :-)

Hello again.  I spent the better part of yesterday trying so many different commands and could not find which file, folder, or registry key is keeping WMI from working.  So, I decided to try your tools again, one at a time, in hopes to zero in on it and I found something interesting; there's something different between your standalone tools and the AIO.

Here's what I did:
Downloaded and ran the standalone 'Reset File Permissions' tools.  Problem not resolved.
Downloaded and ran the standalone 'Reset Registry Permissions' tools.  Problem not resolved.
Downloaded and ran the AIO tool, clicked Unselect All, only ticked Reset Registry Permissions and Reset File Permissions and voila(!), problem resolved!

Any idea why?  Is there an ever so slightly different command you are running in AIO for one (or both) of these tasks than the one you are running in the standalone tool?  Any advice you can provide is greatly appreaciated as I am so close...

Thanks,

Paul
