    Add Take Ownership to Context Menu in Windows 10  


    Hello umisery, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

    You should be seeing "Take Ownership" in the context menu when you right click on an .exe file like below if you merged the downloadable .reg file from step 2 or 3.

    Add Take Ownership to Context Menu in Windows 10  


    Hello everyone,

    I am experiencing a weird issue and have no clue on how to solve it.

    I have a folder on my SSD named "firefox". The full path is :"F:\SAVE\programs_\Browsers\firefox". When I right click on the "firefox" folder and try to take ownership, everything goes fine (screenshot is below).

    However, when I right click on the "firefox" folder and go to Properties/Security, my username ("User") does not appear on the list. Screenshot is below.

    Interestingly enough, if I copy the "firefox" folder to the same location, right click on "firefox - Copy" and go to Properties/Security, my username does appear on the list. Screenshot is below.

    How is this even possible and why can't I take ownership of "firefox"?

    Thanks.
