    I messed up folderownership off Appdata


    Hi,

    I messed up bad. I changed the Folderownership of the user/appdata folder and checked the apply to all subfolders mark.

    The consequences are are as you can imagine quite bad. Programs can't access their settings, the os itself is freaking out, can't acces system repair, ...

    What would my best approach be without a fresh install? Can I find an overview of what the proper ownership would be somewhere?

    Thx in advance for the help

    :)

  2. deleted AppData Account Picture file

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your inconvenience. We will assist you with it.

    I suggest you to refer the following Microsoft help article to about AppData folder.

    What is the AppData folder?

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-appdata-folder

    Note: This link is also applicable to Windows 10 as well.

    I suggest you to perform System Restore on your computer and check if you are able to get back the AppData folder.



    System Restore brings a system to an operable condition after a disaster so that it can again accept and process data.



    To perform System Restore follow the step provided below.



    • Press Windows Key + R Key
    • Type rstrui and press Enter.


    Hope this resolves your issue. Do let us know if it helped. For further assistance, feel free to contact us.

  4. I messed up folderownership off Appdata

    appdata roaming error on startup

    This is a residue of some malware that your virus scanner eliminated. It can do not further harm. You have three options

    • Ignore the message.
    • Download and run AutoRuns in order to find out what triggers it, then disable it. This could be a bit
      of a challenge.
    • Follow the recipe further down.

    Recipe

    1. Mark the first code line below, then press Ctrl+C to copy it. Note that the line starts with "cmd" and ends with "pause"
    2. Click the Windows orb, then press Ctrl+V to paste the code line.
    3. Press Enter, then Enter again.
    4. Repeat Steps 1 . . 3 for the second code line.

    cmd /c ren "%appdata%\c55c004\aabdde0.c5ae42e6" "%appdata%\c55c004\aabdde0.c5ae42e6.vbs" & pause

    cmd /c cd 2>"%appdata%\c55c004\aabdde0.c5ae42e6" & pause
