rrw4rusty Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Hi, Using my wife's PC (yes, my wife's!) I recovered some RAID 0 files but in the process I did a move which unknowingly included a link to all her /user/<wife's name> files and then, just to really mess things up, I changed the ownerships and permissions! She discovered my screwup when she tried to read her email (Outlook would not start) and get to and logged on to FB! I'm in deep shit. I've managed (I think) to restore all of her user files but ownerships and permissions are screwed up! What is my best option for fixing this? She has all manner of cookies, favorites, emails, appointments, contacts, plus Roboform passwords and user data... and etc. so simply creating a new user would mean tons of careful file restores. Is there a utility what will fix this mess? Husband needs to be saved from wrath of wife!!Rusty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 A full backup of the system would most likely have been the answer to both of your problems. Before you or your wife do more computing, carefully consider the merits of backing up your machine(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
