How to Take ownership of a file or folder in Windows 8, 7 and Vista


As you know, in modern versions of Windows e.g Vista, 7 and 8 the default ownership of most files is TrustedInstaller, and all users have read-only access (in most cases). If you want to delete or replace any system file in these operating systems then its is very difficult task. TakeOwnershipEx can be used to obtain full access to files and folders on your computer.  TakeOwnershipEx allows users of the  "administrators" group to become owners of files or folders with single click. It gives full access permissions too.
Some features of TakeOwnershipEx

With TakeOwnershipEx you will able to get full access rights to the file or folder. The selected file or folder will be owned by local "Administrators" group and they will have full access rights.

TakeOwnershipEx stores the history of files/folders you have been owned where you can always set access rights back to the original state. Note that it restores access right as well as owner. I.e. if previous owner was TrustedInstaller, it will be properly restored too. This is a most important benefit of TakeOwnershipEx.
Since the latest version of TakeOwnershipEx has context menu integration with Windows Explorer. The context menu item can be used to get access or restore permissions. So, this is one menu item for both tasks.
