Hello folks,

A few weeks ago my XP laptop died. So I went out and bought a vista
laptop and an enclosure for my old hard disk drive so I could salvage
my photos, music etc etc.

So, the old HDD works perfectly except I don't have the permissions
for any of my old documents...

I've tried changing the permissions but it means I have to do it for
every single file... even then I still can't open my old pictures.

Is there a way I can change every file in a directory in one swoop.
There is an option to do that but it doesn't appear to work very well.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Alex
