Restoring permissions back ...

hi
sorry to come back with this permissions things but i have a problem and
maybe someone can help
so i've done a clean installation of vista, everythings works fine and can
access my files saved under Xp. But i wanted to restrict acces for some
others users and hereS' where my problems started, somehow i denied acces to
all the usergroups include my account (set as administrator) even under XP
the folders and files are now unaccessible.
I tried to undo it on the parent directory but the change won' apply to
subfolders.
I can still undo it but i have to do it for every single files and that'S
too long.
So is there an option to do it for multiples files?
thank for yours answers and sorry my english isn't so good

sure. take ownership of the parent folder and also choose to take ownership
of all child folders. then give youself full permission on the parent and
choose to replicate those permissions to all child folders... its quite
simple

Hi guys,
actually, i have the same problem. i took ownership (and full control) of a
folder and subfolders in vista but I cannot seem to be able to access the
folder when I return to windows xp. I have tried to give everyone access to
the folders but it does not work. How can I reset the folder permissions?
Thanks,
