Resetting permissions on multiple user folders
Authored by: mdentinho on Mar 04, '10 07:19:23PM
I know that this is an old post, but I was looking for a solution to my problem and after a couple of hours looking for it I found a simple way that worked for me (Not sure if it will work for every body) and I would like to leave it here if someone needs it in the future as I did:

1 - Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)
2 - Paste this line of code:
sudo chown -R User_name /Users/user_short_name
3 - Type your Admin password
4 - Voilá

Now all Files and Folders of the user you specified may be owned by the user you're logged in as.

Good Luck
