Does the *Take Ownership* program from howtogeek work?
Pretty self explanatory lol. I'm trying to completely rid myself of Adobe Flash, but I'm not important or smart enough to own my own mind or computer, I need Microsoft to mismanage it all for me. As such when I get to the first step of the uninstallation guide posted by Adobe:
choose “Run”, and paste the following directory path into the field and click “OK”:
C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
You then get 4 folders:
Flash.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil_ActivX.dll
FlashUtil_ActiveX.exe
And when you TRY to delete them, you are told: You require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes
So in short, I'm not competent enough (according to MS) to remove files that are and have been directly linked to hacks. Don't use Adobe, but we won't let you get rid of it......
Anyway, I found a cool little program from HOWTO GEEK that makes it easy to transfer ownership.
Anyone use it? Does it work?
