After the introduction User Account Control in Windows Vista, Microsoft he increased Core file security of the system, so users who want to replace or rename a system file or folder (in the director root from the part of the c) must first get control complet (take ownership) on them.
With the launch of the new Windows 8 Opeare System, Microsoft has changed the way the way control can be taken (or Change the Owner) on system files, this being now different from what I knew from Windows 7 or Windows Vista. Although the difference is not very large in Windows 8 (The command line remained the same) has changed the way to change the owner by GUI. For example, in Windows 7 there is an tab appointed Owner, while in Windows 8 this tab has been removed, Owner information (as well as one Link for changing it) being displayed at the top of the window of Advanced Security Settings.
Also in the tab Permission, permissions for a new object can be awarded in two different ways, Basic Permissions and Advanced Permissions (the latter variant being recommended only to advanced users).
How can we change the Owner (Take Ownership) to a system or system folder in Windows 8?
- Click-right on a system file or folder and select Properties from the menu, then click on the tab Security
- Click the button AdvancedThen, in the open window, click on the link Change from the right Owner
- ENTER the name of the user with whom you want to take control (to be able to select it from List of objects available In the system, click on Advanced, then on Find Now si Give double-click on the user you want to do owner) then click on OK
- If you want to change the Owner of a system folder, tick Replace owner on subcontainers and objects, then click on Apply
