Windows 7 - Take Ownership Shortcut

Hello Solowin,

Welcome to Seven Forums.

Try rt. click on the prog/shortcut and select run as administrator. See if it works then.

Hope this helps.

I'm not seeing any difference running as or as not administrator. I had tried that yesterday, with the same result.

One thing I'm finding odd, (the more I dig into this program) - within my file structure, I have My Documents/Embroidery and then a number of Folders. Some of these folders have additional folders with a hierarchy of design types, digitizers, etc. but some folders have embroidery files that aren't further filed. These "loose" files are visible within the SEU programs, whereas my files that are further organized aren't visible! I've examined the file properties, security/sharing etc. and can't find one thing different between the higher folders and the ones buried a few layers deeper. All these files are within my "locked" user folder, so maybe the lock has nothing to do with my inability to use these files - I'm totally at a loss here!

Thanks for your suggestion, and if you have any other ideas, I'd be happy to give them a try.

Don't know anything about the program. Maybe it is incapable of reading child folders. Have you checked out the site for the software to see if the FAQS say anything or if there is a forum for questions there?

Very useful. Thanks much

HelloBrink,

I have dl and installed, works good -- thanks!

Where in my account is full control?

Hello Katie,

You can take a look at steps 11 to 22 in the tutorial below for more on how to give "Full Control" to your account of a file.

Great!

Thanks Shawn. I can't tell you how sick I am of this. Take today. I saved a Google image but would it allow...no. I had to change the saveas four times before i managed it.

In Win Xp my favorite lol it was a breeze to save.

Thanks again Shawn!

You're most welcome Katie.

Maybe I'm being dense, but...when I right click on the .reg file and select Merge, I get the error message that there's no program associated with it, and I don't know what to associate with it.

Hello Intenseatpon, and welcome to Seven Forums.

It's just that your REG file extension that is not associated properly. Double check in Default Programs to make sure that the REG file extension has it's "Current Default" program set as Registry Editor (C:\Windows\regedit.exe). Afterwards, you should be able to merge the REG download here.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
