Solve : Taking Ownership all Windows files.? |
|
Answer» Hello good evening, I've been having problems for about 2-3 months and still can't seem to fix this issue. I have tried to RESTORE my computer to a previous restart point.. but somehow it got deleted and I have no restart points to go back to. I want to take full Ownership of my computer files, right now I cannot do anything pretty much . I get a message from windows saying; " You will need to provide administrator permission to change these attributes. " ...and I'm Admin!. System Info: Win 7 64-bit Computer USER Accounts = 4Have you tried this method yet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404240.aspx Quote from: DaveLembke on June 20, 2014, 06:29:11 PM Have you tried this method yet: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404240.aspx Hello, YES I have. I just simply want to take ownership of all files. I tried doing the first option on; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff404240.aspx but I am confused because I am " Art " as my username for PC, and I'm Admin too....so? [recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]Of special interest is this: (From link given in #2 post.) Quote The default owner of a file or folder is the person who creates the resource. Ownership can be taken or transferred in several ways. The current owner of a file or folder can transfer ownership to another user or group. A member of the Administrators group can take ownership of a file or folder or transfer ownership to another user or group—even if administrators are LOCKED out of the resource according to the permissions. Any user with the Take Ownership permission on the file or folder can take ownership, as can any member of the Backup Operators group (or anyone else with the Restore Files And Directories user right, for that matter).If somehow an owner of a personal computer has lost his permission and it was not the act of an legit administrator, it may indicate the presence of malware. Reference: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/3387-73-temp-folder-writing-permission-itself I think it was legit because I was Administrator and I've been changing things around.. I'll scan my computer for any infections again and see what happens. Took a couple screenshots of these; [recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]I am Username " ROCKY " as my PC Admin name and I was trying to "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects " Messages popped up and I hit Yes and Continue to all. After it was done I decided to do a test Installing iTUNES but failed. Still the same problem.. [recovering disk space, attachment deleted by admin]If your computer clean and doesn't affected by any malware, your problem will be solved easily, just try to search, or just waatch this video i found it on utube may help u youtube[.]com/watch?v=8C0ArKet6EQThe file names the OP has in the screenshots indicate the files are protected by the system. The user should not alter fires protected by the system. His Post coulda been ignored anyways Geek....just sayin. |
