\section{Manually resetting the Permissions}
\index[general]{Windows!Manually resetting the Permissions}

The following solution was provided by Dan Langille {\textless}dan at langille in
the dot org domain{\textgreater}. The steps are performed using Windows 2000 Server but
they should apply to most Win32 platforms. The procedure outlines how to deal
with a problem which arises when a restore creates a top-level new directory.
In this example, "top-level" means something like {\bf
c:\textbackslash{}src}, not {\bf c:\textbackslash{}tmp\textbackslash{}src}
where {\bf c:\textbackslash{}tmp} already exists. If a restore job specifies /
as the {\bf Where:} value, this problem will arise.

The problem appears as a directory which cannot be browsed with Windows
Explorer. The symptoms include the following message when you try to click on
that directory:

If you encounter this message, the following steps will change the permissions
to allow full access.

\begin{enumerate}
\item right click on the top level directory (in this example, {\bf c:/src})
and select {\bf Properties}.
\item click on the Security tab.
\item If the following message appears, you can ignore it, and click on {\bf
OK}.

You should see something like this:

\includegraphics{\idir properties-security.eps}
\item click on Advanced
\item click on the Owner tab
\item Change the owner to something other than the current owner (which is
{\bf SYSTEM} in this example as shown below).

\includegraphics{\idir properties-security-advanced-owner.eps}
\item ensure the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" box is
checked
\item click on OK
\item When the message "You do not have permission to read the contents of
directory c:\textbackslash{}src\textbackslash{}basis. Do you wish to replace
the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control?", click
on Yes.

\includegraphics{\idir confirm.eps}
\item Click on OK to close the Properties tab
\end{enumerate}

With the above procedure, you should now have full control over your restored
directory.

In addition to the above methods of changing permissions, there is a Microsoft
program named {\bf cacls} that can perform similar functions.
