All permissions lost on some Vista system folders
I have a user who running Vista Home Premium on a Dell laptop. We installed iTunes for him to be able to access his music while on company trips. He attempted to upgrade while on a trip last week and it failed. He brought it in this week and we removed iTunes completely, and all of the associated Apple software. We thought we were done with it until I tried to print a pdf file from the network share. It kept telling me access denied. Upon further investigation I discovered that all of the files and folders below C:\Windows\System32\Spool have no permissions set what so ever! At this point no other folders seem to be affected. I know I can use the ICACLS to fix this but I'm unsure what to set the permissions to. Ideas? TIA JC
