Hello hoping there's a solution to this problem or I have a lot of work to do. here's the issue: I upgraded to vista from XP and when I opened the Windows.old folder I dragged out my music folder (Which wasn't 'My Music' it was just 'M U S I C' on my desktop. Anyway whenever I open an individual Band folder, song files, or the M U S I C folder in general it requires me to verify ownership.. Now that's where the problem lies, with this I would have to go through the 300+ folders individually and verify ownership (These aren't downloaded copies, this is legit, CD ripped songs and most of these CD's arent around anymore). I'm just wondering if there is an option to A) Verify everything at once or 2) Verify the folder and everything inside the folder at once.. If there's another way to do it please tell.. thanks in advance..

Why would you drag the whole folder on the Desktop? You might have only a
shortcut on the Desktop and the actual folder in Windows.old.
If this is the case, in Windows Explorer cut and paste (faster than copy and
paste) the Music folder wherever you want - either in User/Music/ or,
preferably, on a different partition. That's because you might want to
delete Windows.old at some time. Also, you need to make a backup copy of the
Music folder on another hard-drive... just in case.
Ownership... as posted by Rick Rogers above.

well why wouldn't I put it on the desktop, I had no idea that was a bad idea..and speaking of bad ideas, the windows.old folder is gone because of the many items of clutter i had taking up space.. so the music folder is gone now and all i have is the music folder that I lack access to..

It's not a bad idea per se but you might lose the folder if you have to
reinstall Vista.
