Hello:
As of 10/25/2007, I have not found a way to restore the default Vista folder
permissions. I need to do this because I had changed the permissions on the
Vista partition while in XP on my dual boot system. I didn't think that it
would affect the Vista ACLs but it did--duh! Now my guest account can't
logon completely.
Per http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/bb629421.aspx, to restore local Group
Policy to the default settings in Windows Vista, run cscript
GPOAccelerator.wsf /Restore. Completing this procedure restores the local
security policy settings to their default values in Windows Vista. It looks
like doing that only restored the registry permissions at least, but not the
folder permissions like the Setup security.inf does for XP.
There is an inf for Vista named Vista Default Security.inf, which is a
Security Template used as part of restoring the local security policy to the
Windows Vista default settings. I believe this gets imported with the
cscript GPOAccelerator.wsf /Restore command mentioned above.
Is anyone aware of anything that will restore the default folder/file
permissions on the Vista partition, similar to what importing Setup
security.inf does in XP? Thank you.
