How to restaurate permissions?

[Maria]

Hi, good evening
I have a question: I was "playing" with W2000 configurations.
I set this configuration to the hard drive : denied all for
all the users. So now I can not execute anything, I can not
access to anythig. Well I have to go folder by folder
setting the right permision, but Is there any option where
I can repair this kimd of things?????
I promise I will read all about Windos 2000 before "play"
but now I need a solution, because I don´t want to
reinstall all again...
Thanks.

I'm fairly new to Win2K but I would suggest booting into
"Safe mode with command console" and running cacls
(someone tell me if is available in console mode?)
supposing you have the rights to do so.

cacls c:\ /t /c /g everyone:F system:F
cacls c:\accounts\maria /t /e /g maria:RWC

I'll learn more, making mistakes ;-)
