Eye Cackle Security (ICACLS for Windows7)

Ever try to pull files off an old windows hard drive and run into security permission issues in Windows 7?

Try these commands on the drive's root folder in a command window:
To make the current user become the owner of all folders, subfolders, and files:
TAKEOWN /F * /R /D Y
To give Everyone full access to all files:
ICACLS * /grant:r everyone:F /T
