Hi, is the ownership of a file on my system stored in some NTFS-database, or is it a property of a file which can be read outside of my machine (for instance: if I email a file to somebody else can they read the file in such a way that they can see it is owned by my user-account)? I am not talking about the metadata of MS Office files, rather about mp3's, images and so on. Regards, siso

NTFS ownership is stored in the MFT entry of the file. This information is not stored within the file itself and cannot be read outside the computer.
