    How to take ownership of a file or a folder in Windows XP

    Procedure for XP
    This is more of a question that a statement. I remember reading here where someone said that ownership and permissions being two different things, that simply having ownership isn't sufficient to eliminate all access problems...true?

    Yes that is true, and if it is the case here, getting permission will be easy enough

    right click, properties>security>ownership
    I think that a bit more complete path would be Properties>Security Tab>Advanced button>Permissions tab>Change Permissions button>Add button>Advanced button>Find Now button>Select user>Press OK>Select Permissions>Press OK>Check Inheritable Permission...>Press OK, then OK and OK again.

    I correct my prior statement; ownership was an inadvertent slip, agreed it should be users.

    but I will acquiesce to your procedure.

Hi all, First post so apologies for sharing the burden. I am running a Win Server 2008 R2. One of my users informed me that he could not access a couple of folders within the server. Upon checking, I found out that even I do not have access to the folder, even in administrator account. Whenever...

From somewhere, somehow, a folder named "24cd9e4542d29590bce925ec30" has been created in my W7x86pro root dir. Trying to look inside, I had to "permanently get access". But then inside it, there are a whole lot of folders named things like 1025, 1028, 1029, etc, ending with 3076, and 3082. ...
I'd like to put a .cmd file in my c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup directory, but \Documents and Settings has a lock on it and tells me "Access denied" when I click on it. Is this a job for "Take Ownership" or is there another way? The instructions for "Take...
