Copying files without Security Associations

[Bob151]

Is there some way to copy files from one NTFS volume, with its own Windows XP Pro install (this is my old hard drive with all that legacy stuff). I want to copy files to my new HD without all the security associations and OWNER concerns.

Thanks.

My understanding is that a normal copy operation creates a new file with nothing more than the default security properties for the folder and drive.

Note that documentation is for the command line copy. A different command line copy, scopy, exists for copying the file with security properties intact.

I think the copy operation in the shell is probably the normal copy operation without security props.

Oh, I always use MS XP Explorer (not Internet Explorer), this seems to copy files with security properties intact.

Might there be some GUI utility which doesn't copy security properties of files on NTFS volumes?
