Restore folder permissions in Windows 7

$

0
I screwed up permissions on one of my drives by removing all users and adding myself with insufficient permissions. Windows began modifying folder and file permissions which I stopped by clicking cancel. Now 3 of my folders with 173,351 files are locked to my user with only read permissions. I am the folder owner but am unable to add, edit or remove permission entries to those folders, the buttons to do so are greyed out.

How can I fix this problem and restore my file and folder permissions? Thanks.
