I set share permission to Everyone - Deny... Locked out

I know - dumb move - I wasn't thinking, and set the permissions on a shared folder for Everyone to Deny All, thinking that because I had full access to the entire drive, that I'd still be able to get in. Big OOPs...

Is there a fix ?

Change the permissions on the folder.

Right-click and select sharing -> permissions.

You have to be the 'owner' in order to do this though.

hope that helps

That's right login as Administrator
and take ownership of the folder..

Then designate a new ACL as you see fit..

Just don't make the mistake again :)

You are stating that you set the "share permissions" right? Not the file permissions - right??

If you set the file permissions then do as stated by everyone above. If you set the share permissions, then go to the server/workstation, delete the share and recreate it.

If you want to deny access to others then set up a group that needs access and only apply that group. Take all other groups out. That will effectively "deny" others permissions, without killing those that need it.
