Today when I’ve installed Windows Vista on my PC, I discovered that I don’t have permission to access some of my files located in the “D” drive. I wasn’t able to use Cygwin, Eclipse and other applications installed in this drive. I’ve googled to see if there’s a way to get the permissions back, and I found this amazing file which you easy can add to your registry.

In these steps you’ll see how to take the ownership of a file:

Download this file “own.zip”
Unzip it and add it to your registry
To take the ownership of a certain file, just right click on that file and click on “Take Ownership”

That’s it. Wasn’t that so easy???

If you want to remove the feature just download this file “own_rem.zip“, unzip it and run it
