    Cannot take ownership


    Hi,im having a problem taking ownership of any of the windows files after a fresh reinstall.
    It says i have taken ownership (using the command promt in elevated command method + trying to use the right click Take Ownership) but does not allow me to edit any of the files within the windows folder.
    When i try to add un-tick read only it says access is denied.
    I have given my user group full control and am thee administrator,and even using another admin account does not avail.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Got it,an update/restart seems to have fixed it.
