[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1578053"] There is a utility called BatChmod (search for it) that will change permissions for a bunch of files all at once. You could use that to find and change all .doc files and .xls files to your new user name. Be careful, the tool could get you into more trouble than you can imagine if you accidentally change something that should NOT be changed. I'd do a full backup before messing with it. Also be advised, as vansmith has said, that other permissions on the file may be present and BatChmod makes them all identical across all files. [/QUOTE]
