I saw this on a website while looking around the Internet, and I did what it said, and I went to right click on something, and it worked! So, I am giving it to you! Taking ownership of system files or folders in Windows 7 or Vista is not a simple task. Whether you use the GUI or the command line, it takes far too many steps.



Here is what we are shooting for:

1) Download and unzip the files contained in the zipfile. Double-click the InstallTakeOwnership.reg file and click through the prompts. No reboot necessary.


2)

How to uninstall:
-> Double-click the RemoveTakeOwnership.reg file and click through the prompts. No reboot necessary.

Man, this is very handy. I hate it when I encounter files like that on my computer, it's a real pain to deal with them and I often just randomly change the security settings

Yeah, that is a real pain. I mean Windows makes it so hard to do one simple thing.

[Luke Larris]

Yeah they do. I hope they do the right thing there in Windows 8.

Windows 8 should never be allowed to run on a computer. The whole operating system is tablet driven, I mean the UI is even touch layed out. Unless MS changes it so it looks like Windows 7, it should stay tablet driven only.

I think they plan to make more changes to the GUI to make it better and more desktop like. I heard the Start Screen was only an experiment on the desktop, but maybe I'm wrong. I personally don't like the Start Screen.
