Take Ownership of file, Manually
5:59 AM |
In Windows Vista and 7, Take Ownership command can be added to right-click context menu, but sometimes it doesn’t work with few files, so it has to be done manually.
Usually this is needed when file is blocked by TrustedInstaller or not owned by user.
Right-Click the file and go to Properties and then Security tab. Now click on Users (YourUsername\Users) under Group or user names:
Now click on Advance and go to Owner Tab and click on edit.
Then click on your user name and press Apply.
Now press ok on two open windows, that only Security Tab is opened. Once more click on Users and this time press Edit.
Once more in new opened window, click on Users and check the full control box and Apply.
Now edit the file as much as you want. :D

Most helpful site and information
this was a really quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get something done.
