Ahh, I had forgotten about (I)cacls.

The command mentioned there seems to be correct but won't work, just trying again now.

takeown /f directory_name /r /d y
icacls directory_name /grant administrators:F /t


^^ That worked. The built-in help provided about the icacls command doesn't seem to be right! :lol:

Replaced the file - the whole security center stopped working, allowed me to turn it on again, but went straight back to the same situation. I'll do a clone, and try Blam's idea of a repair. Any other ideas please do let me know, I'm keen as to solve this one! :p

798986 2009-08-07 02:09:00 Ah well...customer needs their PC back. I just turned off the security center notifications.

Wish I had found a resolution to this issue, definitely going to keep the repair/upgrade in mind for the future though. :thumbs:
