I wouldn't have the slightest on how to do that.  I've never had the
problem to ever deal with it before.  Not sure if it is even a problem
now.  I'll be running setup shortly, so we'll see.

Ah, a hidden thing I never have had to deal with.

I wouldn't know how to change ownership permission of Windoze files, since
I've never had to do it, nor have I ever seen along the lines of chown.

Thanks for the response.

I'll report back my update results.
