After some research, it turned out the tool \u201ccacls\u201d that allows one to display or change ACLs (access control lists) can help to reset ACLs.<\/p>\n

In Windows 7 it is called \u201cicalcs\u201d. To reset files permissions:<\/p>\n

1. Run \u201ccmd\u201d as Administrator<\/p>\n

2. Go to the drive or folder in question, for example:<\/p>\n

\n

CD \/D D:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

3. To reset all the files permissions, type:<\/p>\n

\n

icacls * \/T \/Q \/C \/RESET<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

4. And that\u2019s it!<\/p>\n

After that, the files permissions were reset and I could access them back again.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/p>\n

\n

It is possible that \u201cicacls\u201d might fail. For that try to take ownership of the files first.<\/p>\n

Just before Step (3), please type the following command:<\/p>\n
