Add Take Ownership to Context Menu in Windows 10  

(Ill be willing to translate If wanted)

Thanks Brink,
This is awfully fast. Thanks!

I finally decided to just take the risk and use the 'Takeown'-line command. The operation executed succesfully, but..... the problem did not go away. iTunes still complains about the music folder not being on a drive with the right priviliges. When trying to copy a file to my music folder with Total Commander I encounter that same problem (needs administrator rights). I'm stumped! It all started when I created a new user profile (with admin rights) to solve another issue. I moved the user files (Documents, Pictures, etc.) from the c-drive to the e-drive where my original files were located. Apparantly something went wrong?

This is my original post: Cannot Access HDD No Administrator Rights

Vonmonckl, use the tweak Brink gave you. If this fails please return to your original thread and we’ll investigate your issue first-hand.


It should be made clear that these “Take Ownership” registry tweaks don’t guarantee access, especially when it comes to granting access to drives as the takeown command suffers a privilege escalation bug when operating on them.


Michael E, did you have your problem resolved?

Hello Brink,

I tried the french version you added on page 10 but I still wasn't able to delete the file (‪C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam). Do you have any solutions for this problem?

It's not a major problem for me because I only wanted to delete the steam folder on my C: drive since I reinstalled it on my D: drive. So I can deal with it but I might create a new thread as you said to help out others who could have the same problem.

Thanks for the quick answer, I really appreciate active admins :)

Ps: I hope I didn't make too many errors because english is not my first language

This context menu will only work with English Windows 10 installations.

If you have a different language, then please post a reply with what language you have instead. I'll be happy to post back a translated version for you.

What about Lithuanian?
