Add+Take+Ownership+to+Win7

=Add Take Ownership option to the right click menu in Win7/Vista= This trick will create a "Take Ownership" shortcut option whenever you right click a file or folder. It allows a user to assume ownership of system files or folders in Windows 7 or Vista which they would otherwise be denied access to. When you take ownership of a file or folder you replace the security permissions that were originally present with a different permission that gives you access instead.

1. Copy and Paste the following into a blank notepad file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]@="Take Ownership""NoWorkingDirectory"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F""IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]@="Take Ownership""NoWorkingDirectory"="" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t""IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

2. Save the file as InstallTakeOwnership.reg 3. Doubleclick the **InstallTakeOwnership.reg** file to install 4. Right clicking should now give you an additional **Take Ownership** shortcut option.

Warning:
Messing around with the registry can be hazardous to your computers health. Don't use this trick if you worry about accidentally destroying your computer.
