restore default security permissions in windows vista?

[Guest scr621]

Whilst trying to make notepad++ the default notepad I tinkered with the

permissions.

I changed the settings so that any user listed had full control over my

PC. Now I want to change them back & only allow the Administrator to

have full access. How do I do this please? :cry:

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way if

they get angry.............they're a mile away...........shoeless! style_emoticons/

Use ICACLS to reset the permission. It is a command-line tool that displays

or modifies discretionary access control lists (DACLs) on specified files,

and applies stored DACLs to files in specified directories. The following

links should provide insightful info regarding the usage of this tool:
