Most stupid thing to do, but I did it...
I changed ownership of all files on C:\ (and permissions also -removed SYSTEM, Users & authenticated users from all files-shame on me) and after that, I was unable to get even into win logon screen. Fortunately, I have 2 Win 7 x64 versions installed, so I tried to change permissions tabs & ownership of WINDOWS & Users folders accordingly, as it is set on the "not-messed up" version... at least most of it (general folders & some subfolders, returned TrustedInstaller back as owner etc.)... Yeah, a made it and windows started successfully, but since then, Ive began to experience installed software problems aswell... I had to manually change all permissions etc. on every folder & file of e.g. Office to make it work... Messing permissions & ownership produced many other "bugs" to the system e.g. system does not save folder & other settings during shut down & when I leave my PC idle for 5-10 min., it suddenly freezes, so even crtl+alt+del wont wake it up.... I assume it is because my stupidity & also because system still does not have all the permissions it needs to work correctly... Is there a (quicker) way to fix back all default permissions? Or somebody know which files to change manually to make it work without those "bugs"?
Note1: System Restore function does not working after permission changes...
Note2: Sys specs located in my profile...
Note3: Do not even try to tell me advices like: reinstall windows or sth...every moron can do that... Moreover it is not a good choice for me, cause I do not have enough place to backup all data...
Thanx a lot for your help in advance
