| | changing user permissions? i am copying someone elses data from a usb drive, but when i try to add myself in permissions i get a great many pop ups about error: cannot find file. But I know all these files are there because i can see them. I know I must be going about this the wrong way. Can someone please advise me how I can give myself full rights and ownership without all these errors popping up. thanks |

| | RE: changing user permissions? Am I getting you right - are the "Permission" Tab in properties on the USB-drive. When I'm asking, thats because it would'n be there using a USB key . But if its there, you sholdn't give it permissions - not yet anyway. First you take over the ownership to the drive - and then you give it permissions. -- BirgerH "littleriver" wrote: Quote: > i am copying someone elses data from a usb drive, but when i try to add > myself in permissions i get a great many pop ups about error: cannot find > file.
