"Access denied"
I edited the permissions for a folder I use for a game, and accidentially set it so no users can edit it... Now, when I go on my administrator account, I can't uninstall the game (so I can reinstall..) and get access denied messages, which keeps me from installing modificationsI turned UAC off to see if that would work, but no luck. Any idea on how I could get write/delete access back for the folder?
