Restoring Permission for Files Located on an External Hard drive
« on: September 15, 2018, 02:53:46 pm »
How can I get this to scan an external hard drive, instead of my computer.  I don't see any options to choose other drives.
Thanks!

The program is designed to work on and within Windows only.

The Permissions only relate to the registry settings.

What have you done to the files on the external disk ?

Is it because you can no longer access them ?

Thanks, I ended up moving them into a new folder on my computer, scanned them and then put them back on the external drive.  Seems to have did the trick.

I was going to suggest that but as not knowing how many files were involved, it could have been a lengthy process, but glad you were able to sort it.
