One way or another my whole Visual Studio 8 directory was set to an
invalid owner. Since there are so many files it would be tiring to set
each file's owner individually. Can anyone suggest a program or batch
script to set the owner of all the files in a given directory to a
certain user?
 
Windows XP Professional? You can use the GUI tool to do this, right
click on the folder | Properties | Security | Advanced | Owner . Select
the desired owner and check the box to Replace owner on subcontainers
and objects. You have to disable Simple File Sharing to see the
Security tab in the object's properties. You can also do this with the
SubinACL command line tool.
