Revert it, no need for that. Use "su -" or "sudo" instead. As other answers already said, chmodding 750 to all content of $HOME is not what is suggested in any way. Though such changes is not necessary in your case, you may memorize the usage of find: find /path/under/which/you/want/change/ -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \; find /path/under/which/you/want/change/ -type -f -exec chmod 640 {} \; First line matches directories, second files.
