So in an effort to prohibit others from accessing my E: drive i denied all users
how can i revert back to this so that I as an admin can get it back?

Now before the screens i will let you know that i have tried everything from reg edit from what i know to enabling admin account in 7

i provide the screens because everyone tells me to use the security tab and if you can see it then im blind

here are screen shots

It seems like you've encountered some trouble with denying all users access to your E: drive, making it inaccessible even for yourself as an admin. Here's how you can try to regain access: 1. Changing Permissions: - Go to the Security Tab: Even though you mentioned having difficulty locating it, let's try again. - Right-click on the E: drive and select Properties. - In the Properties window, locate the Security tab.

Granting Permissions: - Within the Security tab, you should see a list of users and their permissions. - To regain access, you need to grant yourself permissions. - Click on your user account in the list and make sure you...

Granting Permissions: - Within the Security tab, you should see a list of users and their permissions. - To regain access, you need to grant yourself permissions. - Click on your user account in the list and make sure you have full control/ownership over the drive. 3. Taking Ownership: - If necessary, you may need to take ownership of the drive. - To do this, go to the Advanced Security Settings within the Security tab. - Find the Owner section and click on Change. - Enter your username or select it and then check the box that says "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects". - Apply the settings, which should change the ownership to you. 4. Applying Changes: - After setting permissions and taking ownership, click Apply and then OK to save the changes. - You should now have access to your E: drive as an admin. Try these steps and see if you can regain access to your E: drive. Let me know if you encounter any issues while following these instructions!
