You never run into "Access Denied" and the smoke and mirrors of junction
points?
Note that you'd be well advised to take a back-up image of the C: drive
before doing this ...
What I do is take ownership of the entire C: drive, this can be done by
rt-clcking it, choosing Security, Advanced, Owner, Edit,
Administrators, Replace on subs, OK.
This on its own may be enought to remove the 'Access denied' message.
Then I give Administrators Full Control over every file. This has to be
done from a command prompt launched as administrator:
icacls C:\*.* /C /Q /L /T /grant Administrators:F
Then I delete the daftest junction points that lead to circular
references, for example there's one inside every user's Application Data
folder heirarchy that points back up to Application Data. The rest I
ignore.
I've never run into any scenario where I'd be tempted to do all of that.
