Hi all!
I was trying to secure some files on a shared computer, so I created a new user account with administrator privileges. I moved my files from the old account to the new one and then tried to limit access these files to only my new account, as the old account was also an administrator account. I somehow denied access to all user accounts (including my new one, and the only way I've been able to regain access to my files is by right clicking each individual file and clicking security, taking ownership of the file or folder, and changing the security settings on that file. I don't want to have to do this for thousands of files, so is there any way to do all of them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
