Ok, ok, thanks. I agree ... partly I will be careful.
I'd still appreciate some answers to the questions in my previous post. I'm just trying to understand how permissions and owership work in Windows 10.
1) Why wasn't I able to change permissions to the "Program Files" folder from the elevated admin account?
2) What is meant by "Administrators" in the security tab in the context menu of a folder? Are they the super admins (but why plural if there is only one)? Or the "normal" administrator accounts?
3) What are the consequences of changing the ownership of the "Program Files" folder to "Administrators" and giving full permission to all users?
And - here's a new question: How can I change the ownership back to "Trusted Installer"? I was thinking to just give myself full access to one specific program folder instead of the whole "Program Files" and leave the rest in the default state.
