I tried to be smart and went into the wrong place! After giving my wireless password to a family member I decided to play with the shared security. I right clicked on C drive and left click on Property and left click on Shared to un check all public access to my C drive. Then BOOM a multitude of things started to happen. The main thing not being able to access my own C drive I got Access Denied. I tried everything that Pegassus mentioned in that forum without luck! It was so easy and logical for me to assume that that I was doing the right thing trying to protect my own C drive I can't beleive that the only answer is to restore the windows 7 home edition to fix that...I'm OK to follow any step by step to try to fix this problem. Thanks1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi Sothonod, 1. Are you under any domain? Step 1: Try taking permission of the drive and check if the issue gets fixed. To take ownership of a drive, follow these steps: a. Right-click the drive that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties.b. Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one appears).c. Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.d. In the Name list, click your user name, or click Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the Replace owner on sub containers and objects check box.e. Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message: You do not have permission to read the contents. Do you want to replace the permissions with permissions granting you Full Control? All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes. f. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the drive and its contents.
