I need to restore the security permissions default to all files on drive c of a Windows XP workstation

I changed some security permissions on all of the C: drive, which is my boot drive system on a network under Windows XP Pro SP3 (32 bit) desktop.  I had shared the drive several years ago, and I believe that the problems were built from the other. I had to rebuild my server and choose a different domain name and connected workstations to the domain. I would like to restore default settings for the C: drive of the workstation (not shared?, permissions and security on all files of Windows and the default user restored to the default values.)

Anyone know where I can find a list of the rights and permissions for each of the folders and subfolders on the WIndows system drive? Or is there an automated routine that will restore the default permission?
