If you need to reset the permissions on the Users directory, you can use JSIUPERM.bat, as long as the usersfolder name is the same as their UserName.

To use JIUPERM.bat:

JSIUPERM Folder

Example:

JSIUPERM c:Users

You will need to create a c:yes.txt at a CMD.EXE prompt by typing:

 C: 

 copy CON YES.TXT 

 y 

JSIUPERM.bat contains:

@echo offif "%1"

"" goto syntaxIf not exist %1 goto syntaxcacls %1 /G Administrators:F SYSTEM:F < c:yes.txtsetlocalset fold=%1set fold=%fold:"=%for /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir "%1" /b /ad') do call :UPERM "%%i"endlocalgoto end:syntax@echo Syntax JSIUPERM Drive:ParentFoldergoto end:UPERMset user=%1set user=%user:"=%if /i %1

"default" goto dfltcacls "%fold%%user%" /T /G Administrators:F SYSTEM:F %1:F < c:yes.txtgoto end:dfltcacls "%fold%%user%" /T /G Administrators:F SYSTEM:F < c:yes.txt:end
