take control as admin then reassign the permissions. You should be able = to do it for a group of files if you have multiple selected. I think = cacls will let you mass change the permissions too but I am not very = familiar with using it. or, if one user has full control over all of them, log in as that user = and do it. =20 Greg -----Original Message----- From: Jan Broucinek [mailto:TinyBeetle@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 1:30 PM To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Deleting Files I've been up since 4am and need to delete a HUGE amount of files from a server. How do I delete files that the administrator does not have full control over? I don't want to press Yes for every stinking file! I know it can be done, but my brain is just not functioning right now.
