Remove lock from folders and files
I am copying over documents and media backup from my old hard drive (Win XP SP3) to my new Win 7 install. I have read about the permissions issue. I followed these instructions and added the registry key to add take full control and permissions to the context menu. After taking ownership and permissions, every file and folder has a lock icon. This is visually unappealing. How can I remove the lock icon, but retain access to my files? Thank you!
