    file permissions/ownership troubles

    a while back my main user account got corrupted somehow and the only way to get to my files was to take ownership of them in my other admin account. but now i'm stuck with having to retake ownership of these files every time i try to access it from another computer or user account, which makes sharing multimedia to my xbox 360 impossible. is there a way to just remove all of these permission settings back to normal? its REALLY getting frustrating with the access denied crap, its even interfering with some .msi install files. *Mad file ownership :mad:*Cry :cry:

    this also puts my new computer build on hold since i need to transfer the files but i'm stuck with the ownership crap

    edit: btw its on windows xp pro sp3

    File Ownership, and Permissions

    So, I've thoroughly messed up some files on my pc somehow, as I have what appears to be "Full Control" and "Ownership" of the files.

    The problem however is that even though these things seem to be true, I'm still met with a message suggesting I need permission from a user that technically doesn't exist anymore. These are Windows.old files after I performed a recovery of the system.
    They are taking up a massive chunk of my OS drive, and I want that space.

    I've done everything I know to do to take ownership, and subsequently add all the permissions to the files that I need. Beyond that I removed every other credential so that my primary account (which is also an administrator) would be the only one with full
    control of the files (System, admins as a group, and the account itself all have "Full Control" listed.)

    Does anyone know why these ghost permissions are still in effect, and how I could remove it? This account it's saying I need permission from is NOT listed on any of it's permissions. Besides, the account literally doesn't exist anymore.

    Help?

  4. file ownership

    ownership

    To take ownership of a file or folder

    Open File Explorer, and then locate the file or folder you want to take ownership of.

    Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

    Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.

    Click Edit, and then do one of the following:

    To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click Other users and groups and, in Enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.

    To change the owner to a user or group that is listed, in the Change owner to box, click the new owner.

    (Optional) To change the owner of all subcontainers and objects within the tree, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.
