Take Ownership tweak and manual take ownership for exe's cpl

[razorsedge]

Hi everyone :)

Since I been asked this a few times I figured I would do up a tutorial for taking ownership of a dll with the take ownership tweak,

and the manual way to take ownership for exe or cpl files

For the tweak its really easy download this rar file:

36349

unrar it and right click on the .reg file

in the menu select merge

you will now have the option to take ownership of any dll file with a right click

36350


Method 2 manual take ownership


Now for exe and cpl files also other types you will need to take ownership of the file manually you do this by following these steps

right click on the exe, cpl or dll file and select properties in the right click menu

36351

then click on the security tab
36352

click the advanced button at the bottom
36353

in the new window click on the tab owner

36354
click the edit button at the bottom

36355
in the new window in the box click on administrators or your name which ever one you like

36356

once you have done that click ok then ok on all the other open windows and exit out of that properties window


part 2

again right click on the exe or cpl or dll

select properties from the menu

36351

again click on the security tab

36352

click the edit button in the window

36357

in the box with the names click on whatever name you picked in the other one before meaning administrators or your name

36358

at the bottom where it says allow put checkmarks in all the boxes

36359

click ok and ok again and you have now taken ownership of that file

Thats it :)

Good tuto buddy.

Thanks for the tut Razor.
I was wondering if there was a tweak to 'remove' the take ownership tweak from your system without restoring the registry? And also... Where could someone find instructions on restoring files like 'timedate.cpl' back to their original security settings, if the backups were lost?

Thanks in advance..


Thanks anyways. Got it done:


sfc /scannow

-and-

REMOVE Universal take Ownership.reg

....did the trick.

This was due to us migrating from a different forum software years ago, allot of files were lost and not all were reuploaded.
