Take ownership of any file easily through context menu ;)

Some application tell you that don't have permissions to copy something, and all. For the following types of apps: BAT (Batch file), CMD(Command prompt file or .COM file), CPL (Control Panel file), EXE (Executable), and MSC (Management Console Snap-In), you need to use the "Run as administrator" option.

There's a registry trick that'll help you. It adds this option to the context menu. You can click it, and you'll have permissions to modify that file. ;)

There are 2 .zip files attached. They both contain registry key files.

Installer

Uninstaller

All you need to do is, that you gotta' extract these zip files first. You'll have 2 registry key files with a .reg extension. To install this, just double click the one meant for installing it, and accept the warning. ;) Viola! You have it!

If it doesn't work, just refresh, or if still not, log off and log in again to your PC. You might wanna' restart explorer.exe too.

Now whenever you face any such error, just right click the file/folder and click this option. Accept the UAC prompt and the error won't come. Similarly, if you want to replace some system file (do this carefully, if you don't want to toast your Windows installation), this comes to your rescue.

Enjoy using it! If you want to remove this, just double click the .reg file in the Uninstaller zip file. ;)

You can safely take ownership of ANY file including your Windows Installation Drive (C:\Windows) for example.

In case of any problem, ask other forum elders, I won't be active much. Just remember, don't listen to noobs who tell you that it is unsafe to take ownership of your Windows Installation Partition.
