Take Ownership

There are system protected files and folders that you even administrators are not granted access to by default and changing the permission settings manually can be rather complicated. This Take Ownership registry tweak adds Take Ownership to the Windows Explorer Right-Click Context Menu.

Though technically not an application, this utility / registry tweak is so useful to administrators that I felt it belonged in the Freeware Database.

TM - Thanks for the little application. I have used it in the past and it comes in handy.

I also use Ultimate Windows Tweaker v2.1 from The Windows Club and it has a feature for Take Ownership also, for files and folders.

Thanks - a very good listing! I've used this app a few times and it's really handy.

Thanks for this, I get really annoyed when I can't readily access whatever I want on my own pc.
