I couldn't access a file and it was saying access denied
so i was told to change the cacls by doing:
cacls *.* /g administrators:f
and now i can't get into any of the files at all. I have
tried to change it back but nothing has seemed to help.
What can i do? I am using Windows XP Pro. All i need to
do is copy them from one hard drive to another cause i'm
going to reformat anyway after i save 2 folders that i
can't open
