I'm trying to uninstall Office XP and keep hitting snags. It starts and then
stops and says that a certain file does not have appropriate permission.
Then I have to go find the file, right click, click on Security and either
set myself up as owner or give myself permission. Then I go back and try
again to uninstall and then it hangs on another file and I start all over
again.

My question is, is there a way to set permissions for all parent folders and
sub-folders and files at one time without having to do each file
individually? If there isn't, Vista is going in the garbage can. I'm the
only user on a home computer and should have to jump through hoops just to
uninstall a program.

Any help will be enormously appreciated.
 
Go to the top of the tree for the program and set the permission for the
folder. This will include all files and subfolders
 
Thanks Bob, I took some doing, but finally got it to do what I wanted it to
do. I just wish there was a step-by-step process.

Well, it didn't really do what I wanted it to do. Does anyone know if there
is a simple step by step process to accomplish this? I set myself up with
full permission on the parent folder, but it didn't do anything on all the
sub-folders. Anyone have a step by step?
