spddemun,
Yeah, since it's a separate site it will require a separate registration as well.

Hello goja,
Yep, the "Take Ownership" context menu works in both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7.
Using the link in the yellow Tip box at the bottom of the tutorial, double check to make sure you are the "owner", and then try setting permissions for it.
What are you trying to take ownership of?

As i just told you, i've done that, i'm trying it on system32 (as i wanted to overwrite a file in it) and when i add my account and set full control it says i can't, access denied.
Now i'm quite worried about all that so i'll add a question : After we took ownership, can we remove it? I'm not talking about account authorizisations.

Goja,
I suggested for you to double check that you actually had ownership since you couldn't set permissions. That's usually the cause.
You do not want to take ownership of the System32 folder, so it's a good thing it didn't let you.
Instead, only take ownership and set permissions of the specific file instead.

Double check I had permission, how do I do that? Wanna know. And what shut my other question?

For single files, it's not hard to restore the default owner. If you take ownership of the System 32 folder, then forget it. There's no going back unless you created a restore point before doing it.
It's highly recommended to not do this with the System32 folder.
You could use OPTION THREE in the tutorial below to manually take ownership and set permissions of the file.
