[QUOTE="GraeYohe, post: 778306, member: 69938"] Hi, quick question which I assume has a simple answer for someone more techy than I am: How do I change the ownership of ALL files owned by one user so that they are owned by a different user? Through a convoluted series of events, I ended up with two users: graeyoheactual is the one I want to keep, and graeyohe is an old user that I don't need at all. But a bunch of my old files are owned by graeyohe and when I'm graeyoheactual and try to use them, they're read-only for me because I fall under the category of "everyone." Thanks! [/QUOTE]
