File Permissions-Yo Jimmy

Jeff "Jimmy Brush" wrote in message ... Jeff ... as far as I am aware, you should be able to take ownership of any file on your hard drive when using administrator permission. Once you have ownership, you should be able to change permission settings on the file without prejudice (regardless of the permissions on the file). I am curious as to what security is being applied to that file. Please do the following: - Click Start - Type: cmd - Right-click command prompt - Click run as administrator - Type: icacls PATH /save c:\permissions.txt Where path is the file/folder you are having trouble with. For example: icacls c:\windows\system32\explorer.exe /save c:\permisions.txt - Browse to c:\ - Double-click permissions.txt - Paste the contents of that file to the newsgroup -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |

Hi Jeff,
Select the security tab, click on the advanced button near the bottom. Click on the Owner tab of the next dialog, then click edit. If UAC is on, you will need to click continue, then click on your username in the "change owner to" list and place a check in the box for "replace owner on subcontainers and objects". Ok your way out. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Take ownership and then change the permissions. That's what I had to do with
winhlp32.exe to replace the dummy winhlp32.exe included in Vista with the winhlp32.exe from WinXP - some of the apps I use have .HLP help files. Nick "Jeff" wrote in message ...
