Modification/editing system files in previous versions of Windows was (and is still for those who still use XP or older versions of Windows) a somewhat simple task. But with the launch Windows Vista, Microsoft has increased Security the operating system, and in Windows 7 It became even stricter. Granting Administrative permissions (take ownership) on a system protected by the system is a process that pope some time to be completed, whether it is achieved by Gui interface or with the help Command prompt.

Fortunately there is a small (well, not really small, but it is performed only once: p) register hack which adds the option Take Ownership In the click-right menu, so after its realization, whenever you have to grant Administrator rights On a system file it is enough to give two clicks and ready, the problem is solved.
How can we add Take Ownership to the click-right menu using the registers
Careful! Before changing system registers is recommended to make a back-up their to avoid unpleasant consequences.
- open the register editor (taste regedit in Search-ul FROM Start Menu And give Enter) and navigate to the way HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT*shell
- sub shell Create a new key you are called speech
- In the right -hand panel change the value of the entrance Default in Take Ownership, then create a new string entry, which you call it NoWorkingDirectory (and to whom you give no value)
- sub speech Create a new key you call you command
- In the right panel give double-click on the entrance Default Then enter the following row in the field under below Value
- cmd.exe /c takeown /f “%1” && icacls “%1” /grant administrators:F
- Then create a new String Value entry you are calling IsolatedCommand, to whom you will give all the value cmd.exe /c takeown /f “%1” && icacls “%1” /grant administrators:F
- browse the path HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTDirectoryshell and create a new key you call you speech
- In the right -hand panel change the value of the entrance Default in Take Ownership, then create a new string entrance you call NoWorkingDirectory
- sub speech Create the key commandThen in the right panel change the value of the entrance Default in
- cmd.exe /c takeown /f “%1” /r /d y && icacls “%1” /grant administrators:F /t
- Create the entrance again IsolatedCommand, to whom you give the same value with the entrance Default (I mean cmd.exe /c takeown /f “%1” /r /d y && icacls “%1” /grant administrators:F /t)
- Then close regedit
You will notice that in the click-right menu a new option appeared- Take Ownership - which allows you to grant administrative rights over any system protected by the system.
