What file permissions are set when Windows places files and folders on the SD Card?''== Samsung Kies ==Samsung Kies - The only PC driver for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and a total piece of shit. Samsung Kies is bloatware. If you go to the Samsung support web site looking for a basic USB driver for "USB Mass Storage" you will NOT FIND ONE because Samsung is a shithole company and all they offer is bloatware Kies, which wont even do USB Mass Storage mode.
