Bookmark this on Delicious Vista File Security Sucks

I used RoboForm to copy file from my old hard drive to the new one after a rebuild. Problem is, I used the short option which also copied file security. Since I renamed the machine during the rebuild, I was not me anymore. I found the fix for individual files and folders at http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-quickie-vista-permissions

I found a batch approach at http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/25/easier-way-to-take-ownership-and-grant-access-files-or-directories-in-vista/, but it is not for the newbie. There was another offering that does not require an account at http://www.cynosurex.com/Software/TakeControl/
