    Try to run ScanDisk on a volume - it should fix any file system-related errors, including corrupted security descriptors.

  Hi
  I have a folder that I can't access - "Permission Denied" (as Domain and
  machine Administrator).
  I thought I'd simply take ownership of the file but the Security tab under
  folder properties simply doesn't appear.
  I've tried using CACLS to update the permissions, but it won't let me do
  this.
  I've gone to the folder's parent folder and tried to propagate permissions
  down to the sub folders and it failed when it got to the folder in question.
  So, I'm assuming that the folder has either a corrupted ACL or the ACL has
  been deleted.
  Any suggestions as to how to overwrite the ACL?  I'd be delighted simply to
  delete the folder, it's contents are irrelevant and can be regenerated.
  Thanks in advance everyone
  Griff
  PS - this is a follow-up post to one entitled "NTFS permissions" I posted
  earlier before I had the full picture - I thought I'd repost with a more
  suitable subject line.
