How to Create a Take Ownership Shortcut in Windows 7
Information
To take ownership of files and folders you can use this Tweak and it will give you the option to take ownership when you right click on a file or folder or drive.
RELATED LINK:

1. Just download and open the zip file below, and right click on the extracted .reg file and click on merge.
download
2. Right click on whatever you want to own and and select take ownership, it works and I have used it heaps.

Tip
Taking ownership only changes the "owner" of the file to be your user account. It does not change the permission level of the file.

After you have taking ownership of the file, you may still need to "Allow" your user account "Full Control" of the file before you will have full permission to access it. See steps 11 to 22 in the tutorial below for how.
