Hello
I mistakenly removed every account except "CREATOR OWNER" and my account at
work "Дмитрий Копничев (Kopnichev@clearing.ru)" from my portable HDD
Security
Properties, and access to some folders on my portable HDD became denied. How
to regain the access to all my HDD folders?
Thanks.

If you are administrator on the machine you should be able to take control
of the folders. Right click on the folder(s) and select Properties. On the
security tab add your ID back, giving it full control. If you are not able
to do that, click the Advanced button and go to the Owner tab. Select your
ID in the "Change owner to:" list, check "Replace owner on subcontainers and
objects" and click Apply. That will make you the owner and you should then
be able to reset the security permissions on the files/folders as well as
have access to them.

Please do not make multiple posts about the same problem. Keep posts
about one subject in one thread. Wait at least 24 hours before making
another post about the same subject. Patience is a virtue.
