Please Help - I denied myself access to my documents! :(

Xref: 127.0.0.1 microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin:59052

hey all.
I made a big boo-boo.

On my XP machine, we have users for every member of the
family, in an attempt to make My Documents private, i
gave myself permission to view my files, but then
put 'everybody' and denied this profile access to read my
documents.

this over-rides my settings, and now i cant read any of
my files! :( It says 'Access Is Denied'

I would realy like them back! how do i do this?
Is there a way to Re-Set the Permissions/file sharing?

All Users are Admininstrators, and I havn't found a way
to access my files yet.

Please Help!
Any Help is MUCH appreciated.
Thankyou.
Regards.

Mark.P.

As your account is an admin you should be able to=20
just remove the Deny you set for Everyone, in essence=20
just reverse what you did to get the Deny there.
