Tweaking.com Support & Help / Reset File Permissions - Windows Repair v3.6.1 - Windows 10
« on: October 25, 2015, 04:58:17 pm »
I just downloaded Windows Repair v3.6.1. I am a first time user of the software product under Windows Home 10.0.10240.16384 and I have some questions:
Basically, when it resets the file permissions, the directories of concern are:
C:\Windows
C:\Program Files
C:\Users
and all the subfolders and files under each one.
Does it basically restore all the users and groups and ownership to the defaults as well as the settings for the original folder/subfolder/subfiles inheritence as far as permissions are concerned. Also, I am wondering does it also add the required "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" with the required permissions to the three folders above. How does it handle the C:\Users directory as there are system folders and then there are user folders, does it just assign the user folder for each user with ownership and full control back to that user?
Does the Windows Repair tool actually do the same as this as this when I tried it using a elevated command prompt results in some files being Access Denied while other files show as not found as the name has spaces etc.
icacls "C:\Windows" /reset /T /C
icacls "C:\Program Files" /reset /T /C
icacls "C:\Users" /reset /T /C
Sorry for all the questions but just wanted to be sure it does what I want it to do. Thanks!
