    Welcome to the Seven Forums
    From the tutorial you used
    Application files, (EX: BAT, CMD, CPL, EXE, and MSC) will still have Run as administrator instead of Take Ownership in the context menu.
    Look at post #6 Basic Networking Information it will show you how to Take ownership and give yourself permissions of system files (.dll, .exe, ect.)

    or u can just use cmd:
    1. navigate to directory or file to take ownership of (for entire computer cd C:\)
    2. TAKEOWN /F [FILENAME] /R /D Y - put * as filename if u want all the files and folders in the directory
    3. Wait till it is finished.
    MAKE SURE U RUN CMD AS ADMINISTRATOR FOR BEST RESULTS!
