I have noticed that transferring pictures from hard drive to usb or external hard drive says ‘witout properties’.  how do i set up  my system to never lose the properties OR what is the danger/advantage to keeping or not the properties?

signed technologically challenged needs help -  did not know how to post a question from the start, sorry.  thanks for any help step by step you anybody can provide.

I suspect the properties in question are those related to an NTFS file system and the flash drive is FAT32.  Normal situation and nothing to worry about.

Thanks Ed!  You direction on how to do this was simple and to the point!  Much appreciated!
