The only files that we had to seize ownership and change permissions on, 
were the only ones that had the modified date changed. The other files 
that we recovered, that had more than just the user on the security, were 
fine, did not need to be seized, and did not have their modification date 
changed. Changing the NTFS permissions may not change the modification 
date, but seizing ownership does (or apparently does, based on our 
experience).

We may do that. My boss told me to do nothing further until they contacted 
me again. This is a firm we hired, to deal with these issues, so why 
they're not telling me what I need to do to make them happy and give them 
what they want, I don't know ... or why they're not just coming here and 
doing it, I also don't know ...
