Windows 7 Permissions Problem

[Xero]

Okay, for some reason, there's a whole directory full of files on my external drive which I can't access, and I can't change the permissions on because I get an access is denied error (in both the GUI and some command line commands). I've tried changing them with and without administrative privileges. I can change the permissions of the folder but not the files.

I know these files still work because they work in Linux. I just can't get the permissions worked out. I'm currently the owner of the files and am listed as having access.

Any help?

Okay, turns out I have to go in and manually edit every fucking file because the majority are missing my username.

Fucking hate windows.

I give you permission to do this.

Ye, I had this a while back. Took me a bit longer to sort than you.
