Re: All Permissions removed from folders

[Mathew Benwell <mjbenny () internode on net>]

Hi Maury,
As administrator you can take ownership of the files/folders. This can 
be done through the Security tab on the file/folder properties box. 
Click on advanced then the Owner tab. Select 'administrator' as the 
owner and click apply/ok. Once you have changed ownership of the 
files/folders you will be able to set permissions accordingly. If you 
want to replace the owner on all subfolders/files there is an 'replace 
owner on all sub folders' option that you can use.

Changing ownership will effect the original owners permissions on the 
file/folder. You may also want to look out for things like file folder 
encryption/compression if it is being used. It could be effected by the 
change in ownership

Hope that helps you

Cheers
Mat
