Re: How to get Inherited control of C: drive

Isn't it the inherited permissions on the user access control lists on the NTFS drive.

Each permission that exists can be assigned one of two ways: explicitly or by inheritance. For this reason, permissions are referred to as explicit permissions and inherited permissions.

Explicit permissions are permissions that are set by default when the object is created, or by user action.
Inherited permissions are permissions that are given to an object because it is a child of a parent object.
I've think I've seen that sort of error on Windows before where the user accounts have been corrupted and the account that has the permissions for a folder is broken.

Never seen it at the system drive level though, so not sure if this advice helps:
