In order to change multiple permissions at once you must first obtain ownership of the directory that contains the files that you need to change
do this by:
-right-clicking the Drive (not the one that windows is installed on), folder, or file
-click Properties
-click the Security tab
-look towards the bottom right hand side and click Advanced
-click the Owner tab
-click Edit
-find your username under "Change owner to:"
NOTE: Make sure that the checkbox next to "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" is checked
-click Apply
-Then click OK until all property windows are closed.
Then to change permissions for all folders, subfolders, and files within the directory:
-Right-click the same directory, folder, or file
-click Properties
-click Advanced (next to "For special permissions or advanced settings click Advanced")
-click Change Permissions
-click Add...
-enter your username in the box (under "Enter the object names to select")
-click OK
NOTE: make sure that the checkbox is checked (next to "Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object")
-click Apply
-Then click OK (to exit out of all property windows)
THEN YOUR DONE. All folders and/or files within the directory should have their permissions changed.
