Hello,
hi guys, im trying to move files from my old ide hdd via a usb hub to my new pc. the problem is i have 2000 pics of my kids and i can only gain ownership of them 1 at a time. is there an easy way to gain ownership of all at once so i can save myself months of right clicking and boredom??? all help would be much appreciated. thanks cris

thanks alot that worked but i still have to change permissions to view individual files1 at a time is there a quick fix for that?? thankyou again
 
It's basically the same thing - change the permissions on the topmost folder, making sure that the "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object" option is checked when you do it.
