Resetting NTFS permissions on Windows XP and access denied

[Michael]

I have run the following (as administrator) to permit a
program to install the trial version of Plus! Digital
Media into "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents"

Start your computer by using an administrator account.
To open a command prompt, click Start, click Run, type
CMD.EXE, and then click OK.
Type cacls.exe "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents" /G
BUILTIN\Administrators:F, and then press ENTER.
When you read the prompt Are you sure (Y/N)?, press Y.
Type cacls.exe "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents" /G System:F,
and then press ENTER.
When you read the prompt Are you sure (Y/N)?, press Y.
Type cacls.exe "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Documents" /G
BUILTIN\Users:R, and then press ENTER.
When you read the prompt Are you sure (Y/N)?, press Y.


I am still unable to even cd into the "My Music" folder. I
receive access denied. I have read to take away
permissions and them reapply, but not sure how to do this.

Any ideas?

Thanks

The second and third of the three cacls commands you
showed should have had the /E switch also used.

Thanks, that did the trick. Not sure why, but these days I
rarely do....
