How to take ownership of a folder
Sometimes you might not be able to open a folder because it was
created by someone else, even if you're an administrator. That's because you
don't have permissions. But you can take ownership and then you can change
those permissions. Here's how:
1.. Log on with an administrative account
2.. Right click on the folder you want to be able to open
3.. Select Properties
4.. Click on the Security tab
5.. Click on the Advanced button
6.. Click on the Owner tab
7.. In the list of names, click on your user name
8.. To take ownership, click on Replace Owner on Subcontainers and
Objects
9.. Click OK and the click Yes
i have windows xp and i am logged in as the administrator (as i am the only
user) but when i open a folder and click on properties, i there is no
security tab. . i don't understand. . .
Just curious. . .. thanks for any info
