Recommended ntfs permissions for (internal) _data_ drive?
I've installed win 10 on my new SSD, c:
I had a drive in my old computer that has all my data, now d:
I changed the location of my documents/videos/pictures/music/etc to point to the appropriate d:/users/user/directory/ but immediately had permissions problems.
I'm logging in with a hotmail account. That account is now the owner of files/folders on the drive.
When I use a program it invariable cannot save/write new files unless I give the owner modify permissions. This is true for keepass, firefox and photoshop (among the many others I've probably yet to come across)
I always hesitate when I am having to grant permissions so I ask:
Is this normal behaviour for data directories? What should the permissions be?
I want things as safe as reasonably possible.
