    Driver Owner


    Hi there, i got a question for you.

    IF i reinstall my windows and delete the drivers in the installation setup, will it DELETE the owner of the driver, send the owner to OBLIVION and never see it again. I got a nasty virus and now i can fully work with my driver.

    I just wanted to ask this question to know if the reinstall with really work for me or just to know if my situation is hopeless.( i lost already countless neurons and now i just want to know if using the last resort will help)

    Thank you for the time reading this

    :)

    Hi Bree, thanks for stepping up to address this issue.
    As far as I know my External Drive has only been used on my PC.

    I could try to implement your suggestion and take Ownership of those Folders.
    The "Take Ownership" link is present in my right click menu, but I'm currently logged in with my Microsoft account, so perhaps it would be better if I went Properties --> Security --> Advanced & set the Owner to Administrators, no?!

    Although my mind is bugged with a new question now.
    If I change the Owner & later on I have to restore a backup (Acronis on a CD) won't I encounter problems then?

    DTS supported natively by Windows 8/8.1 and it should work on windows 10 too just DDL require to unlock your driver .

    Driver Owner

    Old Owner Name

    I bought a used Axim. I changed the Device ID in Settings -> System ->

    About. I changed the owner name in Settings -> Personal -> Owner Info.

    But when I use Send To on a Windows 7 "desktop", the option for my

    Axim lists the old owner's name. Not a major problem, but definitely

    annoying. I couldn't find that name in the registry (on the Axim).

    Can anyone suggest another place to look?

    Thanks.
