Re: [libreoffice-users] Help! Lost all file permissions after upgrading Libre Office in Win 7

Hi :)
Just to settle your mind a bit by reducing some of the variables.  None of
this means that there is no problem.  Clearly there is, but Stuart is one
of the top stars on this mailing list.  Everyone here is amazing imo, but
some people such as Stuart take it up a few notches.

In Windows the "Admin User", as with the "Super User" in Gnu&Linux, should
be able to read/write everywhere.  Installing programs as
AdminUser/SuperUser is normally the only way to install things - whether by
elevating a normal user (in Gnu&Linux sudo, as in "do as SuperUser") or by
directly logging in as an AdminUser/SuperUser (Gnu&Linux has a default one
called "Root"), both ways should produce almost identical results.

Having installed a program as Admin/SuperUser the program 'should' then be
run by normal users.  Clearly this is where the problem is showing up in
this particular case.  However the problem may have occured during the
install process.  Clearly it's not running the way it normally does, ie the
way it 'should'.

Renaming the User Profile fixes many weird things that shouldn't be going
wrong and a reinstall/upgrade 'should' go smoothly.  So it's definitely a
good thing to try early on.
Regards from
Tom :)
