Using CACLS with Windows XP Home Edition Using the NTFS File System
In Windows XP Home Edition with the NTFS file system, you can also use the Cacls tool, which is a command-line tool, to display or modify file or folder access control lists (ACLs). For more information about the Cacls tool, including usage and switches, search the Help and Support Center for "cacls."
1.. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
2.. Make sure that you are in the root folder of the partition for which you want to gain access to the System Volume Information folder. For example, to gain access the C:\System Volume Information folder, make sure that you are in the root folder of drive C (at a "C:\" prompt).
3.. Type the following line, and then press ENTER:
cacls "driveletter:\System Volume Information" /E /G username:F

Make sure to type the quotation marks as indicated. This command adds the specified user to the folder with Full Control permissions.
4.. Double-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder to open it.
5.. If you need to remove the permissions after troubleshooting, type the following line at a command prompt:
cacls "driveletter:\System Volume Information" /E /R username

This command removes all permissions for the specified user.

The following steps also work if you restart the computer to Safe mode because simple file sharing is automatically turned off when you run the computer in Safe mode.
1.. Open My Computer, right-click the System Volume Information folder, and then click Properties.
2.. Click the Security tab.
3.. Click Add, and then type the name of the user to whom you want to give access to the folder. Typically, this is the account with which you are logged on.
4.. Click OK, and then click OK.
5.. Double-click the System Volume Information folder to open it.

Hola a todos, mi problema es MUY específico y fuera de lo
común supongo, espero sinceramente que puedan ayudarme!! :

Soy un fanático del orden de las carpetas de sistema,
tengo WINDOWS XP PROFESIONAL
y tengo mi unidad de disco principal particionada
en "NTFS".
Mi problema es que no eliminar ( ni mover ) la
carpeta "System Volume Information" del directorio raíz.

Esto en FAT32 es posible previamente
deshabilitando "Restaurar Sistema", con NTFS no puedo!!!

Como puedo borrarla sin que vuelva a aparecer???
Digo esto porque descubrí la manera de borrarla que es la
siguiente :

1-) Creo un archivo ".bat" (Ej.: "YO.bat" )
2-) Dentro del archivo coloco la siguiente línea de
comandos :

cacls "c:\System Volume Information" /E /G Cain:F

(Siendo "Cain" mi nombre de usuario.)

3-) Ejecuto el archivo "YO.bat" lo que nos permite
derechos totales en dicha carpeta pudiendo borrarla,
moverla, cambiar nombre, ver su contenido ( lo único
dentro es el archivo "tracking.log" ), etc.!!

Pero cuando la borro o la muevo, esta después de un breve
período de tiempo vuelve a aparecer!!

Busqué en las claves del registro de windows pero la
clave correspondiente que deshabilita TOTALMENTE dicha
carpeta!! ( "System Volume Information" ) no pude
encontrarla.

Tengo deshabilitado "Resturar Sistema", el "InexServer" y
también "Administración de Cuota"!! ( que no se que es
exactamente!! )
por lo tanto el sistema no debería usar la
carpeta "System Volume Information".

En el peor de los casos si no se puede borrar
permanentemente, como puedo hacer para moverla a otro
directorio.
Ej.: "C:\Windows\System Volume Information"

En espera de una respuesta, desde ya muchas gracias por
su tiempo, saludos cordiales

Cain
