Guest Jesper Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 No. There is no way to revert ACLs. There are two possible recovery options, short of reformatting and reinstalling. The first is to use icacls on a clean system to save the ACL and then restore it on the corrupted system. The second option is to use something like Process Monitor (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/processmonitor.mspx) to figure out what file access is failing and adjusting the ACLs on those files. There may be many complaints to leverage against OneCare, but I am pretty sure none of them include corrupting ACLs. At least I have not seen it. What services are failing? --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0470101555?ie=UTF8&tag=protectyourwi-20 "Richard Turnock" wrote: > Either I or OneCare beta messed up the ACL for files in the System32 > directory and now some services won't start.
