OK, so I recently built a whole new system. I didn't get a new hard drive, so I figured I would back-up the old drive, format it, and continue using it. Here is where things get dicey.
All of my stuff was under "\documents and settings\tim\", but I had it all set to private so other people that used it couldn't browse my stuff. So when I put the hard drive into my new computer as a backup drive to copy everything, I couldn't access my files. I could get to anything on the C: drive or other users just fine, just not mine. The sucky thing is that I put a bunch of stuff onto the desktop so it would all be in one spot to copy it. Oops.
So my question: is there anyway to change the settings of that one directory with the hard drive set as a backup in my current computer? Maybe through DOS or something? I am stumped. I can't do it the normal way. I also rebuilt the old computer so I could just use it for five minutes to change it to not private, but now that computer won't boot up for whatever retarded reason.
