i recently got new computer with vista home premium x64. i attached the
harddrive from my old xp computer (w/external case) so i can get all the
files from it, but when i try to open the files it says i dont have
permission. ive managed to use the security tab to "replace owner and
subcontainers on objects" while changing the owner, for some of the
files (mostly mp3's) but this is very tedious. is there anyway i can
disable the 'owner' from my old computer?
Run this at an elevated Command Prompt:
cacls c:\ /t /e /g Administrators:f [enter]
This will give full rights to all the files and folders on drive C: to the
Administrators group, any member to this group will then have full rights
to the files.
To grant full rights to a specific user issue the command with the user's
name:
cacls c:\ /t /e /g Steve:f [enter]
will grant Steve full rights to all the files and folders on C:. If the
user name has spaces you must surround it with quotation marks:
cacls c:\ /t /e /g "Some User":f [enter]
Obviously you will substitute your desired owner user name on Vista for
"Steve".
