Folder Permissions

[Rat_uk]

I moved my docs folder to another partition and changed the permissions so
that no other user could access it. I also changed the ownership to my user
name.

now, it won't let me in, saying that i don't have permission!

according to settings in the security tab, i am the owner and have 'full
control' over the folder and all sub containers but everytime i open a file
or photograph it says i don't have the user permissions to access it.

any ideas?

p.s. would system restore correct this or does it not affect folder
security?

Locate cmd.exe with Quick Search and rt-click Run as Administrator. Change
the prompt to the partition where your docs folder is stored, then
copy ->rt-click/paste the following command:

icacls favorites /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

and hit Enter

Sorry, wrong folder, try instead

icacls documents /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low

It takes a minute or so to complete.
