Modify this .reg to take ownership of just the drive?

So im trying to polish off a big ole fancy context menu and I want to add the ability to take ownership of a drive (non system ofc)

the conventional

Code:

@="powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c takeown /f \\\"%1\\\" /r /d y && icacls \\\"%1\\\" /grant *S-1-3-4:F /t /c /l /q & pause' -Verb runAs\""
"IsolatedCommand"="powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c takeown /f \\\"%1\\\" /r /d y && icacls \\\"%1\\\" /grant *S-1-3-4:F /t /c /l /q & pause' -Verb runAs\""

acts recursively and will begin to murder everything beneath it.

I'd like to make it tantamount to

Code:

@="powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c icacls \\\"%1\\\" /setowner \"Administrators\" /c' -Verb runAs\""
"IsolatedCommand"="powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c icacls \"%1\\\" /setowner \"Administrators\" /c' -Verb runAs\""

but for taking ownership. I dont know if its as simple as using

Code:

@="powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c takeown /f \\\"%1\\\" && icacls \\\"%1\\\" /grant *S-1-3-4:F /t /c /l & pause' -Verb runAs\""
"IsolatedCommand"= "powershell -windowstyle hidden -command \"Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/c takeown /f \\\"%1\\\" && icacls \\\"%1\\\" /grant *S-1-3-4:F /t /c /l & pause' -Verb runAs\""

instead. Or if the /t and /l switch need to be removed as well. Given the sensitivity, I'd prefer defer to the professionals :)

All you want is a context menu entry to take ownership without recursion?
And grant yourself full contril as well?

Is there any good reason not to do this all in PowerShell as opposed to calling cmd from PowerShell? ( aside from the fact that many stick with batch/cmd out of habit )

yea i want the context menu due to it being the last piece of a "suite" or "flyout" style context menu that handles ownership commands in their entirety (at least for my use case) with files, folders, and drives. I'd hate to have to turn to another medium for that 1 command.

Hello @klepp0906,

Have you looked at this? => Add Take Ownership to Context Menu in Windows 10.

I hope this helps!

yes, unfortunately that will take ownership of everything :) an easy way to get in trouble with a brain fart, lapse of judgement, or mis-click lol. thanks though :P
