    User admin rights issues after data migration


    I recently migrated a bunch of files and folders from my NAS to an internal (2nd) hard drive on my laptop. At first, all those folders had a gold padlock overlay. I removed those locks by following the instructions at:

    Lock Icon on Files and Folders - Remove in Windows 7

    However, I'm still encountering access issues when I try to save files into those migrated folders or move any of those folders (see the attached screenshots), even though I'm logged in as a user with admin rights.

    I guess I haven't completely taken ownership of these files/folders? I believe I know how to do that on an individual basis, but there are hundreds of folders involved and I'd like to do a bulk edit that removes these security restrictions in one action.

    Is that possible?

    Thanks in anticipation.

    Need to take ownership of multiple files or folders Here's something to consider. It says it's for Windows server 2008 but Windows 7 has this command option as well.

admin user lost some admin rights
in BSOD Help and Support

I can't delete a file from the desktop. When I try, it says to get the rights from the specified admin user (which I'm logged on). The strange thing is that I still can create other users from this account (including admins). Any suggestion on what to do?
