Easiest way to Take Ownership of a File in Windows.

Aug 14, 2013
Taking ownership of system files or folders in Windows 7 or Vista is not a simple task. Whether you use the GUI or the command line, it takes far too many steps. 

Thankfully somebody created a registry hack that will give you a menu item for “Take Ownership” that will handle all the steps for you. (If you are the person that originally made this script, let me know and I’ll give you credit) 

Here’s what the new right-click menu will look like after installing this registry hack.


Install Feature:
Download and unzip the files contained in the zip file. Double-click the InstallTakeOwnership.reg file and click through the prompts. No reboot necessary.

Uninstall Feature:
Double-click the RemoveTakeOwnership.reg file and click through the prompts. No reboot necessary.

Why should you know how to take ownership of a file?
Well first and foremost, its because you own the OS that you use and you should be able to handle/modify all tasks in your OS. Wouldn't you agree?
Second reason is, sometimes some files will refuse to budge/modify or even read when you really need it. That's because those files are generally protected by the highest level of authority in the computer. So, if you wanted to edit a few components ina file to make youtube load faster, or maybe increase the speed of the internet you are using via a simple trick , then you would have problems if you do not have access to the files you want to manipulate.
