remove windows xp ntfs file permissions

[noobsaibot]

Hi, recently I bought an USB hard drive enclosure, and have been struggling when transferring files from home (windows xp pro sp2) to the office (windows xp pro sp2 too). After copying and creating files and folder in this device, I can acess them on some different computers, but in the office I get empty folders and when I try to browse I get "access denied". The same goes if I create files/folders in the office and try to access them at home. After searching internet I found out about windows file permissions. And also learned how to get possession of files and folders, but this is somehow annoying, I have to do it every time in the office and at home. So I am asking if there's any way to make these files/folder public or something without owners. Or any other manner/way to stop this annoyance. Thanks in advance.

just make a folder in the drive
properties > security
and add 'everyone'
and you should be gold

As a desperate solution you can also use a Live linux distro with NTFS-3G which for sure will to acces the files (log in as root just in case) and may let you modify the file(s) permissions.

What Shinigami-Sama said, just make sure everyone has "Full Control" access.

If you don't transfer too big files (larger than 4 Gb) and if the entire drive isn't larger than 128 Gb, you could format it as FAT32 (or make partitions).
