Solved Changing Permissions for Multiple Files

In order to change multiple permissions at once you must first obtain ownership of the directory that contains the files that you need to change
do this by:
-right-clicking the Drive (not the one that windows is installed on), folder, or file
-click Properties
-click the Security tab
-look towards the bottom right hand side and click Advanced
-click the Owner tab
-click Edit
-find your username under "Change owner to:"
NOTE: Make sure that the checkbox next to "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" is checked
-click Apply
-Then click OK until all property windows are closed.

Then to change permissions for all folders, subfolders, and files within the directory:
-Right-click the same directory, folder, or file
-click Properties
-click Advanced (next to "For special permissions or advanced settings click Advanced")
-click Change Permissions
-click Add...
-enter your username in the box (under "Enter the object names to select")
-click OK
NOTE: make sure that the checkbox is checked (next to "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object")
-click Apply
-Then click OK (to exit out of all property windows)

THEN YOUR DONE. All folders and/or files within the directory should have their permissions changed.
