Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem with LibreOffice 5

Hi :)
There was a Win 10 update that messed up the permissions in one of the
places i volunteer at.

I have no idea how to fix it.  I think we went through each individual
folder to reset the permissions but that sounds like a very inefficient and
highly error-prone way of trying to fix it generally.  Still, 'everyone'
loves Windows.

Regards from
Tom :)
