Windows : Take Ownership

To take ownership of files and folders you can use this Tweak and it will give you the option to take ownership when you right click on a file or folder or drive.


When you use take ownership on a folder, it will take ownership of all the files and sub-folders inside the folder as well.

If you added the Open Command Window Here as Administrator context menu item, then adding Take Ownership will remove and replace it.

Step 1-> download from here 

Step 2-> Open the downloaded zip file, extract (drag and drop) the .reg files to your desktop, then right click on the extracted .reg file you want to use and click on Merge.
NOTE: If you do not see a Merge option when you right click on the REG file, then you will need to check in Default Programs to set the reg file extension to have it's Current Default program set as Registry Editor(C:\Windows\regedit.exe). Afterwards, try merging the REG file again.

Step 3-> Right click on whatever you want to own and and select take ownership, it works and I have used it heaps.
