I denied myself access to drive my drive C and as an Administrator…This is how I later solved it..


Login in to “Safe mode with Command Prompt” by restarting your computer and tapping F8

Select "Safe mode with Command Prompt” option and hit Enter.

Log on to your computer with a user account that has the administrator rights (though denied).

At the command prompt, type - NET USER Administrator /active:yes …The key is to be able to login as administrator.

If you get an error message, you might have to do some of the following steps.

TYPE NET STOP ProfSvc - This will stop the User profile service and take you back to the login page – there you will then find an Administrator login there.

Start the task manger-New Task, explorer - this should bring up the start menu etc


Then Disable UAC [User Account Control] which will give you access to your Drive C

How to disable UAC.

Open Control Panel….Under User Account and Family settings click on the "Add or remove user account"….Click on one of the user accounts…..Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link……Under “Make changes to your user account" click on the "Change security settings" link…….In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure” click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". ….Click on the Ok button…

Once UAC is disabled - Right click on C:Drive> click Properties > Security >Advance > Effective Permission > Select > enter ( your name )\administrators > click OK.

You should now regain full control of your computer.
