OR skip that and hold down the SHIFT key and right-click on the file.

The option is already there.

Hi,

I tried holding down Shift and right-clicking but the option is not there.
Is this a configuration issue? What do I need to change to enable this option
when pressing Shift.

Thanks

No, it's not there. You would need a registry hack installed by some 3rd
party solution that put the menu option there in the context menu to
take ownership.

Don't know. All that I know is that it IS there on mine. I might
have used some tip/trick I found on the 'net somewhere to put it there
but I don't recall.

SO... I used Google and came up with this (doesn't need SHIFT):

Same but using TinyURL:

You can get the script here:

This script will add Take Ownership to the right click menu.

You obviously did use the registry hack, Paul. The take ownership option
isn't available in Vista by default.

That doesn't work on my version of Vista (Home Premium). That option is NOT
there when holding down the SHIFT key and right clicking on a file.

The site says it can change values and cause components to not work
correctly.
