    Takeown command not working


    My account is an admin on my system, and I would like to remove a *certain* intrusive file from my computer, however windows has other ideas and continually blocks me from touching the file.

    After trying for about half an hour to remove this file through the usual ways Change ownership was blocked I went to command prompt to use the takeown command, set it up and tried to submit it, only to be told that I didn't have administrative privileges, I went and checked, and, I do, obviously, but apparently windows thinks otherwise.

    I really hope this is a virus and not a restriction put in place to *protect* us from ourselves.

    Programs not working


    In post 26 there were steps listed to fix the operating system corruption.
    Are you able to follow them?
    In post 29 was the suggested dism repair command.

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Takeown command not working :)
