Add Take Ownership to Context Menu in Windows 10  

Poki said:

Hello, thank you for these scripts!
I would like to ask if any of you could do the reverse of "Take Ownership"
After finishing work on a given folder, I would like to remove its permissions.

I would like to get something like this

Shift right click Grant Permissions

Shift right click Remove Permissions

Thank you...

Hello Poki, and welcome.

You might see if the context menus added by the tutorials below may work for you for this.

I'm sure I can't handle it but thanks for the tutorials

Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Is it enough to replace "grant" with something else?

Code:

'/c takeown /f \\\"%1\\\" && icacls \\\"%1\\\" /grant *S-1-3-4:F /t /c /l'

This is the basic command the take ownership context menu uses.

I don't understand any of this, okay I have a file that unlocks I don't have to lock it again

thanks for the help ,
best regards

That's ok.

Basically, you don't really need to change permissions of an item again once you have taken ownership of it.

Once you are the owner, you have access permission by default.

Depending on what you are wanting to change permissions for, you could manually toggle permissions like below without changing the owner.
