Cannot Troubleshoot Internet

<< < (5/5)

Knightmare:
So I reformatted my computer and copied all of my user data over from a backup that I made. I decided to change my username just because I didn't want my name on my computer (I already know it's mine), but when I copied the files over to my D: partition with my user information, it has an orphaned SID from my last username in the security tab. Would resetting the security settings using the Windows Repair Tool on the D drive remove this SID?

vexx32:
Probably not. It only grants permissions according to the information given in the tool, so any removal of permissions has to happen manually. If you can see it in the Security tab, you should be able to remove it from there too. Depending on the situation, you may need to take ownership, too. :)

Shane:
Sorry for the late reply, my wife had our baby :-)

Actually it should. I use a exe in the files folder that is from MS to set the permissions. While I dont remove any I do have it set to remove any orphans, which is one of the options with the exe I use. :-)
