Thank you for your hints, I tried both without success. I don't know what the reset user permissions actually does, perhaps permissions of some standard folders, but I think both tools can't restore the permissions of my personal folders, because they can't know, what they have been. So I restored all files from an (too) old backup and are now reinstalling the rest by hand. Thanks Tiemo
