RE: Repair ACL
No. There is no way to revert ACLs.
There are two possible recovery options, short of reformatting and
reinstalling. The first is to use icacls on a clean system to save the ACL
and then restore it on the corrupted system. The second option is to use
something like Process Monitor
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/processmonitor.mspx)
to figure out what file access is failing and adjusting the ACLs on those
files.
There may be many complaints to leverage against OneCare, but I am pretty
sure none of them include corrupting ACLs. At least I have not seen it. What
services are failing?
