    Hey people I just registered in this forum because I have a simillar problem to those previously here related.
    Well I just did an upgrade to my pc and I bought among other thing a new hard drive where it was installed windows 7. The thing is that when I try to access some of my old songs / photos / videos of my old disk in which i have windows XP installed, I have those issues about ownership and i already tried almost everything but there is always an anoying error saying that the acess is denied! I was going to try Zidane's Tool but i just dont know how to run it!

    Could you help me please?

    Sorry about spelling mistakes but i am not english.

    You need to start a new thread. His last post was three weeks ago and got no response.

    As I understand it some folders are locked into the 'trusted installer' program somehow.

    I had a similar problem with Google Earth where the folders were locked out to all Admin accounts and users. Never did solve that one but reinstalling Google Earth worked so I didn't need to go any further.

    I did read a suggestion that via a CMD prompt (run in Admin mode) you can use the 'takeown' followed by a 'calcs' command that is supposed to overwrite this to allow access ?

    Can't remember the exact text required to follow the above commands.

    I think Microsoft should look at this and allow local Admin users an efficient way to manage Windows folders and files when they are locked.

    I believe that if you boot W7 into safe mode, you will have access to everything regardless of ownership. Perhaps you could copy the files you want in safe mode to a folder you have ownership of. Not sure if this would result in removing any restrictions after rebooting normally, but it might be worth a try if normal methods of taking ownership aren't working.

    OK, I'd asked a question on permissions in the "General" thread, and came across this thread that seems to have many of the same problems I'm having after an XP to W7 move. I followed this advise (below) and it seems to have solved my problems accessing my Doc and Settings folder, but I have what looks like a "shortcut" symbol on the "D&S" and the "Default" folder, and a lock on the "Tom" folder (me). I can open both (where I couldn't before). Then I have the other C\users folder, pretty much showing the same thing. Just looks wrong.

    Now that I have access, what to do to combine all and make it "right"? (normal folders, no lock, no shortcut).

    You get padlocks on folders and files in Windows 7 when low permissions have been removed i.e. users, guests account, authenticated users from the folder. Follow the bottom half of this webpage starting from Changing Permissions
    Change the permissions and take ownership of your files and folders | Windows Vista for Beginners

    Where they add Administrators add Authenticated users instead.

    If your having problems with the sub folders still after that. Then from the Security tab, hit the advanced tab then change permissions at the bottom then tick 'Replace all child object permissions with inheritable permissions from this object' and hit OK.
