How to add “Take Ownership” shortcut to right-click menu on Windows
Microsoft uses a way to secure system files and folders from accidental deletion or modification by users.
Locking down important files or folders protects the Windows operating system and to make it more secure, Microsoft made it difficult for users to take control over important system files or folders.
If a user needs to take ownership of files or folders, he can do it by hacking the Windows Registry.
Here’s the registry hack which eliminates the need to go through all of the normal steps, and adds a Take Ownership shortcut to the context menu (right-click menu) in Windows.
