That should undo it nicely for you. :)
I have the same entries on my system for the "C:\Windows" folder, so they appear to be default.
The same story on other folders (e.g Program Files , Program Files x86 too, etc) System twice, Administrators twice as well, ....
Then, it looks like this is the default.
I appreciate it,
I now have a folder that I copied to another folder and I can't delete the original folder because I don't have permission.
This has happened once a few months ago and I can't remember what I did to resolve it.
I have tried all your methods, but I am stuck with the message "You do not have permission to view or edit this object's permission settings."
I think the permission settings got scrambled in doing the copy as other operations were taking place. Any way to fix this with your techniques of do I need to do an off-line cleanup?
Hello bottomcritter, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)
If you like, you could try using the Take Ownership context menu below on the folder, and see if you are able to delete it afterwards.

That was a quick response! And I like your suggestion of adding the context menus, I could have used them in the past for other problems I had, so I downloaded them.
Anyway, I got the problem resolved by using LockHunter, a little utility that will delete the folder/file, even though it was not locked. It requires a reboot, but that was a minor issue since I had already spent all afternoon trying to fix the permissions.
Thanks much!
