Resetting NTFS files security and permission in Windows 7

The second partition (DATA) had some security settings on some files and folders. After Win 7 was installed, some files on drive D were not accessible anymore and I was getting Access Denied I tried to right-click on the folders that were not accessible and changed their owner and changed permissions but still some folders were still inaccessible not matter what I did. Just before giving up, I remembered that since Windows NT, there was a tool named cacls that allows one to display or change ACLs (access control lists). Ok, to make a long story short, on Windows 7 it is called icalcs. So to reset files permissions: 1. Run cmd as Administrator 2. Go to the drive or folder in question, for example: CD /D D: 3. To reset all the files permissions, type: icacls * /T /Q /C /RESET 4. And thats it! After that, the files permissions were reset and I could access them back again. cacls is a handy tool to change permissions of files en-mass. Reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318754
UPDATE: I have released a new graphical user interface utility to reset the files permissions. Try it out.

I was running Vista with two NTFS partitions (C: and D:), then formatted C: partition and installed Windows 7 RC. The second partition (D:) had some files security set on files and folders. After Win 7 was installed, some files on drive D: were not accessible anymore and I was getting Access Denied I tried to right-click/properties on the folders that were not accessible and changed their owner and changed permissions but still some folders were still inaccessible not matter what I did. After some research, it turned out the tool cacls that allows one to display or change ACLs (access control lists) can help to reset ACLs. In Windows 7 it is called icalcs. To reset files permissions: 1. Run cmd as Administrator 2. Go to the drive or folder in question, for example: CD /D D: 3. To reset all the files permissions, type: icacls * /T /Q /C /RESET 4. And thats it! After that, the files permissions were reset and I could access them back again. Update: It is possible that icacls might fail. For that try to take ownership of the files first. Just before Step (3), please type the following command: takeown /R /F * cacls is a handy tool to change permissions of files en masse.

September 14, 2010 @ 7:36 am I want to change the permissions on the users folder in windows 7 back to the defualts. When I try this however, it gives access denied and also that the system cannot find the path specified. I am the owner and have administrator rights. I have played around with the permissions and think I messed something up. Now my backup program, syncback, runs into the infinite application data loop on the defualt folder in the users folder.

Although I still could access the files, my virus scanner didnt scan them,

August 9, 2011 @ 3:12 am Okay, Im stumped. 1. Run cmd as Administrator
11/29
10/5/13
This is fine. 2. Go to the drive or folder in question, for example: CD /D D: This is done. The folder is open. 3. To reset all the files permissions, type: icacls * /T /Q /C /RESET This is where Im having a problem. I want to change permissions on My Music, My Pictures, and My Documents on my OS hard drive. Apparantly, Im not seeing the correlation between the folder in question and the command prompt to use. Can someone clarify this for me, since I fail at command prompting? Reply
lallousx86 said
August 9, 2011 @ 10:27 am Hi xfphile. For My documents, My Music and other user related files, change to: 2. cd /d %HOMEDRIVE%\%HOMEPATH% 3. reset.. Hope that helps. Reply
xfphile said
August 10, 2011 @ 3:09 am Argh!!! Apparantly, dealing with mortgages all day every day has made me stupid. Do I do it one folder at a time? If so, can you show the actual command as I need to type it (with the icacls etc.) for My Music? I promise Im normally smarter than this and swear on my Bible that I will (endeavor) to get it this time.
Sean Reeves said

September 16, 2011 @ 12:40 am @xfphile: if youre still having issues, simply download the .BAT file I created, put in whatever folder you wish to have modified, then run it as administrator.
10/5/13
So, youd put the file inside each of the three folders you listed and run them. Depending on how large each of those folders are, it could take a few seconds up to a few hours. Ive had icacls running in my 1TB drive for about an hour now. My 1TB has been REALLY acting up after plugging it into Win7. Copying the locked folders takes about 4 hours for 200GB on USB 3.0. Why? Couldnt tell ya. I also have no idea how or why Win7 locked my iPod and deleted all my music from it. The music is still on my HDD, but I cant access my pod via iTunes. It says I need to restore it. However, Im in Iraq (going back to the States soon, WOOHOO!) and the internet here SUCKS. The firmware required to restore the iPod is just over 1GB it would literally takes weeks to download on this connection. Anyway, I hope you resolved your issue, and if not, give the .BAT I made a try Best Regards, Sean Reeves SPC, USA Armorer NCO Reply
Sean Reeves said

September 16, 2011 @ 12:43 am Oh, forgot to mention that the .BAT is available from the link in my comment below. Haha, wouldnt want you to get all discouraged since I didnt leave the link in this comment.

Sean Reeves said

September 16, 2011 @ 12:29 am I am attempting to do this to a 1TB drive at the moment, I certainly hope it works. The (external) drive will allow me to copy the files with proper permissions, but shortly thereafter, the newly created files will be locked as well. I have created a .BAT file that automatically does this process. If you dont trust it, simply rightclick the .BAT and select Edit and you will see that aside of text, only the code from this article is used. The file can be downloaded from http://www.enoctis.net/shared/Win7_FilePermissions.zip Note that the above URL isnt supposed to have any spaces, just in case WordPress decides to throw any in there. Hope this helps! And even more so, I hope the code helps meI am SICK of this permission crap.

September 16, 2011 @ 4:20 pm Download the .BAT that I created to do this for you. All you do is place the .BAT in the directory that you wish to reset, then run it as an administrator. You can download it from my site: http://www.enoctis.net/shared/Win7_File-Permissions.zip If you dont trust me, thats OKI understand. Simply right-click on the file and select Edit which will allow you to see the code. @echo means show text, @echo off means dont show text aside of the text I added, a couple of CLS (clear screen) calls and pauses, its only the code from this article. It works great! Best Regards, Sean Reeves Reply

September 16, 2011 @ 4:25 pm By the way, I used this for the You do not have permission to access error that is common on Win7 when opening files from XP/Vista. I cant tell you how long it took because I went to sleep, but it was done when I awakened. I know it took longer than an hour on my 1TB external USB 3.0 drive. Again folks, if youre having problems, use the .BAT file I made. You cant go wrong! http://www.enoctis.net/shared/Win7_File-Permissions.zip I used it last night and my woes are gone. By the way, in the .BAT file I cited this blog since its where I got the method; hope you dont mind. Reply

many hours of attempted to repair, I chose to rebuild my system. In order to save my data, since I am the only user on this desktop I bought a new 1TB drive, formatted and partitioned it, and rolled off all my data to the new HDD. My problem is all the data on the new drive is in the same state, read only and hidden. Since we are talking about 100,000 files, mostly images, docx and xls files, is there a way, using takeown and icals to set these files back to factory ownership and permissions. Is it as simple as: icacls * /T /Q /C /RESET but what ARE those permissions and who would the owner be. Also what are the standard security characteristics. bob Reply
Myke said
October 7, 2011 @ 5:48 pm Bob it sounds as if you have an infection on your computer. There are several worms out right now that mod your registry and hide your files. Youll still need to change your permissions but youll have to get rid of the infections first. Also make sure you do not delete your temp files first or you will lose all of that. Reply

Graham Ashby said

November 5, 2011 @ 8:13 pm As somebody suggested, execute this from the command prompt available in the list of repair options available at boot, upon selecting the F8 option. This was the only way I could get it to reset the majority of permissions without complaining. Sure, it complained about a few, but they were simply paths which couldnt complete and terminate during the process, and werent essential paths which would cause general permission issues. Reply

July 6, 2012 @ 10:33 pm For those who are getting the access denied error, you need ownership. I found that the quickest and easiest way to get around this is just to go into the properties of the drive in question (for example, your C drive) and take ownership of the drive in its entirety. This will also give you ownership of everything in the drive, which will get rid of the access denied error. This would be risky, but since youre resetting permissions and ownership anyway, this goes away once you finish. Reply

December 30, 2012 @ 2:15 pm Hi there, Very interesting stuff. Ive just tried to run the DOS command icacls * /T /Q/ C /RESET (without the quotes), as administrator, in Windows 7, and it says . icacls* not recognised as an internal or external command operable program or batch file. That is a * (star) there isnt it? And I tried it both with and without spaces between each of these. /T/Q/C. So my Windows 7 operating system doesnt recognise this as a command could you help please? Thanks, Li p.s. I also tried your bat file in one of my folders but it didnt change any permissions for me? It would save me about two days work if either of these worked but they dont work on my PC?

Hi Li, Just type the following form an administrator command prompt: icacls SPACE * SPACE /T SPACE /Q SPACE /C SPACE /RESET Of course, remove the SPACE and put a space character by pressing the space bar on your keyboard. This should work if you are using Windows 7 and above. Reply

March 3, 2013 @ 9:13 pm The solution does not what it claims to do. When I click on the desktop to make a new folder, the uac shield still comes up. This means that the security settings are still broken. The solution claims to fix this. Reply

I dont know the steps by heart but this is a rough idea: 1. right click on the folder 2. properties 3. security tab 4. advanced button 5. Owner label -> Change to change the owner 6. Add yourself as an owner and press Apply. Then try again with the instructions in the blog?

September 15, 2013 @ 6:46 pm This is great, thanks for the tip. When joining an existing machine to a new domain all the file permissions seem to get messed up in Dropbox. This partially solved the problem and at least let me get access to the entire Dropbox directory again. Reply
