    file permissions/ownership troubles

    a while back my main user account got corrupted somehow and the only way to get to my files was to take ownership of them in my other admin account. but now i'm stuck with having to retake ownership of these files every time i try to access it from another computer or user account, which makes sharing multimedia to my xbox 360 impossible. is there a way to just remove all of these permission settings back to normal? its REALLY getting frustrating with the access denied crap, its even interfering with some .msi install files. *Mad File ownership :mad:*Cry :cry:

    this also puts my new computer build on hold since i need to transfer the files but i'm stuck with the ownership crap

    edit: btw its on windows xp pro sp3

  3. ownership

    To take ownership of a file or folder

    Open File Explorer, and then locate the file or folder you want to take ownership of.

    Right-click the file or folder, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

    Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.

    Click Edit, and then do one of the following:

    To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click Other users and groups and, in Enter the object name to select (examples), type the name of the user or group, and then click OK.

    To change the owner to a user or group that is listed, in the Change owner to box, click the new owner.

    (Optional) To change the owner of all subcontainers and objects within the tree, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box.

    How to "take ownership"?


    I’ve found a small solution to hide the smiley icon. It doesn’t disable the button, it only renders the icon invisible.
    This is what I did:

    • Navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and find ieframe.dll
    • Take ownership and give administrators full control
    • ...snip...
    • Save the file and copy it back to C:\Windows\System32

    ................

    So, the question is how to take "control" - I seem to still be getting permission denied errors when copying the file back to c:\Windows\System32?

    Okay so it seems that after taking ownership and giving adminstrators control, I got further - I had to also explicitly set the file permission. It did let me copy my modified .dll over the ieframe.dll, but now IE does not start up! Luckily I am running this in a VM so can revert to an earlier snapshot, but there does seem to be some fundamental step that I am missing!
