If only if it were that simple. What happens if all the permission boxes are GREYED OUT?
I would *think* (as in guess here heh heh) that it would be rare or maybe even impossible UNLESS explicitly set for no access from within your account and for your account.
Either that or you are not currently running as part of the Administrator group with Administrator privileges.
Take Ownership can be run from the elevated command prompt or it is available as a .reg file to add it to the right click menu. The command is "takeown" without the quotes.
Are you aware of any examples or scenarios that it might also happen? Curious...
Simple. When I did a REFRESH of my Win8 CP machine, it created a windows.old folder. All the folders in that folder were denied write permissions by pretty much everyone. I moved my Steam folder over from the Programs(X86) (old) to Programs(X86) (new). Not only was not allowed to write to the folder, I was also denied permissions to modify the users AND ADMINISTRATION of that folder. Took a lot of fiddling creating a user and then giving it permission before I was finally able to run anything in the folder. The DISABLE INHERITANCE box was greyed out on both the windows.old folder and the Programs/Steam folder under ANY of the owners. I wish I had taken a snap of the security before I started playing with it.
