How can the owner of a file be ascertained?
How can the security information be found?

Obviously, since the file can be right-clicked in Windows Explorer, properties selected from the pop-up context menu, and Security viewed from there, the information is available... But how can this be done from within a .NET app?

I want to find all the files that I am the owner of, so that I can back them up. We're about to have a full network replacement, including replacing the workstations, and I don't want to lose anything that I have created...

I intend to make a recursive app to search the disc for the files I am the owner of.

I can not exactly get your meaning,you can get the attribute of every file and set them with new ones..also yuo can get the account which the current user have been loged on(i.e it could be an Administrator or Guest,...)
