I changed security settings for drive containing project files - how to change back?
In need of help...
I have an external hard drive containing all MP4 files from a project which I will now be working with on Vegas 9. In order to avoid any embarrassing mistakes concerning these files, I decided to change the security configurations of the drive - just while I'll be working with it - so that no files are accidentally moved, deleted, altered... from the drive. To do this I went to MY COMPUTER > then right-clicked the drive and selected PROPERTIES > clicked the SECURITY tab > selected ADMINISTRATOR under users, then under permissions for administrators I selected ALLOW for READ & EXECUTE. So currently the security settings are as follows: Full Control - NOTHING CHECKED Modify - NOTHING CHECKED Read & Execute - ALLOW List Folder Contents - ALLOW Read - ALLOW Write - DENY Special Permissions - DENY After doing this, it dawned on me that Vegas will need to write the .sfk files onto the disk. I tried to change back the security settings to how they were, but it seems I don't have access now to the settings. They are grayed out. I can't figure out how to change it back to how it was. Can anyone help please? .... I'm kinda stuck till I figure this out. Thanks! |
I thought I had solved it. But not.
I managed to have access to permissions on the disk and check ALLOW FULL CONTROL which basically place check marks in ALLOW in everything. So I checked... I tried creating a new empty folder in one of the folders on the disk - it worked! Then tried making a change to the name of one of the folders on the disk and got an error - ACCESS DENIED. So I guess I haven't figured it out yet. Somehow I managed to have full access to the disk, but not to the folders and subfolders and files that are on it. Any ideas? PROBLEM SOLVED in case anyone runs into a similar problem... the trick is to change ownership of the folders here's the link to the page that helped me: How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP |
