Hi All,

I'm trying to transfer my old Favorites folder into the new one. At first I couldn't even open the old one because I didn't "own it" SO I adjusted that in the security settings, but then each individual file within it was still set to the old "unknown user" Is there a way for me to change the ownership if all the files within the folder?

I'm the only user, so I'm the Admin. This is seriously a pain, wish I could just use everything that was on the drive before I installed windows.

Thank you in advance!

This topic looks like a better fit in Operating Systems, so it is being moved there from Software for Windows.
