Take Ownership problem

[iClone]

i try to change the task bar orb,
so i edit the explorer.exe, and then i right click the normal explorer.exe and click take ownership,
and when i try to rename the normal explorer a massage pops up that says this:
"you need permission to do this action,
you need permission from TrustedInstaller to apply changes for this file"
the spelling is probably bad...
well that cuz my windows is Hebrew and i don't know the exact translation for the text.
any way can some 1 tell me what to do in order to fix this problem?
oohhh... my os is Windows 7 Ultimate Hebrew 32bit

When an application is installed there is a special group called "trusted installers" that does that. Youo can resolve this problem by adding your log on to the trusted installer group.

Try taking ownership of the entire windows folder.

I wouldn't advice taking ownership of the entire Windows folder. I have seen reports from people that messed up their system doing that.

I know this is old, but I've looked at this problem till I'm blue in the face (yea, like an Avatar). When I TRY to take ownership of the C: drive I keep getting "ERROR APPLYING SECURITY" "an error occurred while applying security information to c:\hyberfil.sys (or other files) " the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". I don't see it in task manager to close it.

When I try to change permissions I get "Error Applying Security" "an error occurred while applying security information to "C:\Windows Access is Denied.

Does anyone know how to get around this crap? I can't install software without access to C:\windows. I need to install .dll files and such in system32.

Yes it is a very old thread but I found something that might help you.

Your specs indicate that you do not have SP-1 installed.

OS Windows 7 Professional 64 bit 6.1.7600

Windows 7 needs and wants SP-1 installed.
I would recommend completing Windows 7 Updates including SP-1.

After that if you are still having problems start a new thread stating your problem.
