Since i needed to hide several drives from users at a kiosk, I changed the permissions for the "Users" groups to deny all. I did not know that the "users" group included everyone. Even after removing the denial of access from the drive, i'm still not allowed to access several folders. I can't delete them, change permissions or view the files inside. When i try to do any of those things, i simply get "Access Denied". This happens even with administrator privelleges.
 
Hi:

Your only chance to regain access is from a "parent" folder by inherited
permissions.

In the Main Folder, or drive's Security tab\Advanced Options\Permissions...
check in;
Replace permission entries in all secundary objects with those entries
included here
and which are relative to all secundary objects.
