• How to restore default settings for administrator permissions?

  On my laptop, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with all Service Packs, and recommended updates.
  I messed up inadvertently administrator permissions so that I can't access, move, or delete certain folders / files.  Please - how to restore the default permissions?

  There is no way to do it automatically. Restore the system to a point before that the amendments may help.

  This article gives advice: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313222

  If you can open a command prompt (see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Command-Prompt-frequently-asked-questions ), you may be able to use the Takeown command and icalcs to set the permissions to the usable values.

  • ICACLS http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753525 (WS.10) .aspx

  You may need to compare the permissions on a system that works. The Sysinternals AccessChk and AccessEnum utilities can be useful.

• Restoration of openers program: how to restore the original program of opening such as internet explore and itunes instead of notepad ++

  on my computer, I have somehow changed the settings for applications on windows 7 open with notepad ++ how to restore the original program of opening such as internet explore and itunes instead of notepad ++

  I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selection of Notepad ++ (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of installed programsand checking the always use the selected program to open this type of file, document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Notepad ++ as it should.

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to open Notepad ++ and use the icon of Notepad ++ to display the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unASSOC for its ease of use.

  A utility to Unassociate Types of files in Windows 7 and Vista

  Just download and then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files. Manual is available on the web page above (the same place to get the utility). Quite simply, you run the program and wait for the list of the types of files to complete. Select. LNK in the list and then click delete the file type.
