Easily Take Ownership of your Vista files


If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

XPero over at WinMatrix designed piece of software called “Take Control” for Microsoft Vista users. You will need to take ownership of a file if you need to delete or modify a system file. Take Ownership lets breaks down probably 6 screens of settings into once application that lets you select and “take ownership”. It really doesn’t get any easier than this. Previously you had to jump through tons of hoops to get do this, see howtogeeks convoluted instructions here. If you are not a Windows Vista user or a Mac user you may be shrugging why do I need this? Obvious reasons are a nasty piece of spyware that attaches to a system file and now you cannot repair or delete the file, (you will need to take ownership) or you are modifying a piece of the operating system (tweaking) a piece of the operating system. This is also handy if you have an old XP partition or HD laying around and now when you try to access the files Vista wants you take ownership.
