How to Create a Take Ownership Shortcut in Windows 7

information   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.
warning   Warning
If you added the Open Command Window Here as Administrator context menu item, then adding Take Ownership will remove and replace it.



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

After you have taking ownership of the item, you may still need to Allow your user account Full Control of the item before you will have full permission to access it to be able to modify or delete it. See steps 11 to 22 (Option Two in Method Two) in the tutorial below for how.
