Tweaking.com Support & Help / "Reset File Permissions C:\" in Windows Repair Adds Full Control Permissions
« on: December 27, 2015, 03:24:31 pm »
I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate running two user account one standard user (the one I'm on) and one administrator (only used for right clicking --> Run as Administrator)
To reproduce (on C:\Program Files (x86)):
I don't believe this is normal behavior because usually when I create shortcuts for program installed in Program Files, it prompt me that to create it in the Desktop but now it creates the shortcut within the folder.
To reproduce (on C:\Program Files (x86)):
- using Windows Explorer goto the security tab advance button
- change "Program Files (x86)" folder owner to Administrators
- Goto permissions and remove all entries
- set Admins to full control and Users to read and execute and checked Replace permissions on child folder...
- All folders, sub folders and files Properties (in Security tab) now have only Administrators and Users listed
- Run "Reset File Permissions C:\" in Windows Repair and rebooted and ran same repair again
- Check "Program Files (x86)" folder permissions and it's reset to default (set attachment)
- Check sub folders and files permissions and it's reset too BUT 4 additional entries set to Full Control (see attachment)
