Thanks so much for this, I took it one step further. I had a bunch of picture files that went from XP to Vista Ult to Win 7 Ult. In win7 admins had full control and even though my user was in admin groups, I couldn’t even preview the picture files and of course you can’t multi-select to update the security on picture files… really? So I edited this reg file changed adminsitrators to my username and added that to my reg .. mahe it Grant Me Full Control .. works perfectly. I can see my picture files now.. THANK YOU!!

this worked great for me!

i had to replace my win xp pc and my folder was set to private so even if i set me as the new owner, it still denies my access

but this worked perfectly, one click and i gain access! woo!

thanks!

I LOVE YOU!!!!

My Vista issues have been giving me a headache for three whole days. I finally got my OS and files restored but couldn’t access anything.

This worked like a charm! You are the greatest!!

THANK YOU!!!!

[...] tried a registry key addition from MyDigitalLife which is all very nice but it attaches itself to a right click context menu which only works once [...]

I started with Dos and a 286 and have never
had a better and more useful tip from anyone. Using it solved a problem I’ve worked on for over a week!

Sure after i disabled uac. But in win7 it doesn’t matter that its turned on or off.

You are a lifesaver!

Even if I did disable UAC, this crap didn’t allow me to my own files. I agree with security, program-execution prevention, but if I, repeat I want to start a program, why cant do it. The main problem was an executable file with another extension. No run as administrator. In special settings I cant grant access to a folder or a file to myself as administrator. So I agree with security, but in the world there are people who dont use their computer just for power on->internet explorer->office->minesweeper->off. Windows8 slogan will be: are you sure? or what. Even when microsoft proudly announced that in windows7 uac is much more user friendly. It must be but in vista i was able to access my files.

This protect yourself from yourself protection is bull. It wouldn’t allow me to instal a windows certified driver.

I ran grant admin full control on the windows directory and still don’t have permission to update windows.

Any ideas?
