Windows 8 messed up my Windows 7 user folder permissions

Solution 1:

After fiddling around a lot, I managed to find a way to fix it :).

  1. First Remove the unknown SSID's from the folder's security tab, this can be done by right clicking it and selecting properties then permissions, then click edit.

  2. Then click Advanced and switched to Owner tab and click Edit. enter image description here Select your username(Gowtham) in my case and click apply. It will run for a while.

  3. Now go back to the Advanced Security Setting dialog box and select your user name and hit the change permissions. Make sure Replace all child permission* is checked. Click apply.enter image description here

Now it works.
