If you had all the files stored in a single directory on you hd then you can right click the directory (folder) and go to security options where you can set the rights and add and remove who can and can't open, browse, read, write, etc. to the directory and all files in it. Add the user account or modify the one that is already there to allow access to the directory and the files in it. Put a check in "allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object" and that should take care of it. Couldn't find a way to set permissions for sinlge file types and set the effect global.
