Users cannot access certain files!!!

A user was explicitley denied access to a specific folder. A warning message
appeared saying that this action could have adverse affects. Now users cannot
access the files in this folder. Not even administrator. How can I fix this?

Take the ownership of the files/folders, then give appropriate permissions to
users and administrator.

An administrator can always take ownership of a folder and then grant
himself permissions if need be. The link below explains this more. -- Steve

the same for Windows 2000.

Perhaps you set Deny for more than you have said,
maybe Users group (?) instead of "a user"
Remove the Deny to reverse this effect.
You may need to take ownership, but likely only
need to adjust the NTFS permissions (as it is already
owned).
Then, as a best practice, set Grant permissions that
allow what is needed, avoiding use of Deny unless
there is no alternative. Deny overrides any Grants,
so if you Deny a group and that group contains your
admin accounts, the admins will not have access.

Thanks guys. For some reason, I was finally able to take ownership and fix
the problem. From now on I will not use the Deny option. Have a great day.
