Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enigma" data-source="post: 282975" data-attributes="member: 6953">So, why is it not possible to take ownership of executable-type files? I tried using this script awhile back to take ownership of every folder and file on my C drive (as well as my other drives). It seemed to work, but shortly thereafter certain installers and programs would give errors about not being able to access/write to certain folders, especially Program Files/Program Files (x86)/ProgramData. I figured it would be a good way to circumvent UAC permissions in regards to those folders. I'm one of those types of people that doesnt like being questioned by my own OS when it comes to being able to do whatever I want (deleting/writing files, running programs without "Are you sure?" messages, UAC prompts, etc. It still confounds me how I can get permissions and "Access denied" errors etc even when I'm logged in as Administrator (note the uppercase A).Thanks!</blockquote>
