You want to set user permissions on all of your OS files? It doesn't sound that simple.

If you can't set permission you have to take ownership first. http://www.eightforums.com/tutorial...le-folder-drive-registry-key-windows-8-a.html

There is no way back from changing file and folder permissions though except of a full restore. A Restore point will not do it so try to remember what you change just in case. Or make a backup.
Hi adamf. Sorry for the late reply. So lets say I want to undo setting permissions on a folder. Can I do so by just reversing the steps I took?
