Default Permissions for Documents and Settings, Windows 7
Hi, I am trying to find out, what the default permissions for "Documents and Settings" folder are. I know it's a junction point, and its purpose. I saw there were three special permissions on that folder : Everyone, SYSTEM, and Administrator. Somehow, my 'Administrator' got deleted from that list of permissions. So, my question is, can somebody please tell me what those permissions are ? (Default permissions that are assigned upon installation of Windows 7, for the Administrator account, to that folder "Documents and Settings" ) Thanks so much!

Hi, If you double click on it, you'll get an error messages. Even administrators don't have enough NTFS rights to navigate to this folder. It is not even possible if you change the rights by taking the ownership. Here are the permissions for Documents and Settings.

Your image is missing the salient permission at the bottom - I too am in the same pickle with the administrator access gone but even if I knew what the permission should be, how to put it back is not known at this time.
