Re: [MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

There is a utility in Windows 8 called “takeown” that can be invoked from the command line to do this. I’m not sure if it’s in Windows 7. Looks like it’s there: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753024.aspx -D > On Sep 7, 2017, at 11:31 PM, Craig via Mercedes

I know I'm late to the party here, but what would be wrong with going in and applying more or less wide open (read and write) permissions to the whole volume? Wouldn't that allow the files to be read by pretty much anyone/anything regardless of OS? I've done this in Windows, Mac OS and

Re: [MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

I was a late adopter of Windows - waited until 3.1. I think I've only skipped one or two versions since then. Didn't get into the servers until 3.5. Almost all of the problems I've had were application related, not the OS. This includes managing a network of 8000+ PCs at 80+ locations with 150+

Re: [MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

So who do you think is helping you when you have Windows problems? The other users who find the issues and make reports to Microsoft thats who. If there was no user community there would be minimal support. Of course if it worked better it wouldn't need support. I installed Win7 on this laptop

Re: [MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

I've always found that you only need an "active user community" when you have a complex product or one with diverse problems/issues. Simple and relatively stable products don't really need user communities. As a user since the 80's, I've never had to consult a user community for assistance. So,

Re: [MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

Not exactly true, an active user community is what allows you quick answers to questions. A quality OS means you won't have that many problems.Other than a couple user questions (like trackpad shortcuts) I found the Mac easy to pick up. I've got a new Macbook Pro on order through my employer,

Re: [MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

Well, you guys can complain all you want, but I've run Windows since it was an app on top of DOS. I've never had a problem that made me want to run to the odd stuff some of you guys are using. If you were only running Windows, you wouldn't be having these problems. I know Linux has an appeal

Re: [MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

Can you segregate all the changes (all the received and sent emails) to the email directories from the trip, and copy them off to a USB? If you can separate those and save them from the Win7 laptop, then only import those to the Linux system? In other words, use the old version that is still on

[MBZ] Window permissions problem -- Help!

Before we went to Texas, I updated all of my email files -- all 1140 directories with 70805 files -- from our Linux system onto a USB disk and then copied them (with a program that reads Linux disks) onto our Win 7 laptop. I then proceeded to use the laptop while we were in Texas. Since Sylpheed
