So, I'm having a lot of problems that may be a result of messing around with permissions. I'm not sure if that's the case, but I can't troubleshoot past it. I've followed this guide: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/509474/reset-all-user-permissions-to-default/ exactly. My reset.cmd file just closes right away. So, I have two questions: How would I fix that? If I can't is there another way to set all permissions to default? Re-formatting might solve it, but I would really like to avoid that. Also, I do not have a restore point to use.

ADDITIONAL: Win 7 ULT 64-bit,

8. Click OK
9. Click Yes in the dialog box that appears asking if you are sure

Wait while Windows recursively applies the specified permissions to all sub-folders and files
