    For testing purposes, I took owner-ship of system32 in command prompt+admin perms with takeown /F system32, BUT, how do I give the owner-ship back to the system? Or is that impossible...

    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.

    File/folder owner shows incorrectly, how possible?

    Jim,

    1 Since you were not using File explorer for this part of the check, what were you using?
    2 I sometimes set Administrators as the owner of a folder or file but I have not noticed the computer setting that by itself. Which folder is this?

    3 I assume that your user account is 'a member of the Administrators group' i.e. it is an 'Admin user account'? [both terms mean the same thing]
    4 There are lots of anomalies in Windows. This one might simply demonstrate that File explorer can only list users in its owner column and cannot list user groups - so it just does its best.

    AMD FX OC'ers Club

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
