MDIR
Written by Michael D. Pierce
MDIR can allow you to scan an entire Volume, or just part of it, and change
any [No owner] files to SUPERVISOR. This will prevent any possible conflicts
later. You can also convert file ownership from one user to another.
Suppose you are going to delete a user and want to make sure any files
owned by that user are not given the fatal "No owner" flag. What do you do?
Run MDIR with the /C option and change all files flagged by one user to
another (you specify the new user!).
This can be especially handy is the SA did not install programs as SUPERVISOR,
and wants to untag all these files as his.
MDIR can also be useful just for showing which files belong to you, or list
the entire Volume for review.
So, in a nut shell, here's what the registered MDIR can do:
o MDIR works with both files and directories!
o Change all "No owner" files to SUPERVISOR
o Change all files tagged by one user to another
o Display all files (or just a portion) on a Volume and their owner
o Display all files owned by the user, all no owner files.
o Give output in either full format, or short mode.
Type "MDIR ?" for a list of commands. You have to be a supervisor equivalent
or SUPERVISOR for the change functions to work properly.
