Reset permissions

[WWII]

Is there a way to reset all of the file and folder permissions to their
default values in XP Pro?

Thanks

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222
Read the "Secedit parameters" thoroughly before proceeding.

<Q>
After security settings are applied, you cannot undo the changes without restoring from a backup. If you are uncertain about resetting your security settings back to the default security settings, you must make a complete backup that includes the "System State" (the registry files). Items that are reset include NTFS file system files and folders, the registry, policies, services, privilege rights, and group membership.
