This registry hack allows you to take full ownership of files or folders, as explained in this article.

Taking full ownership is for files and folders that you can't open, delete, move, or rename. The TrustedInstaller, part of User Account Control, protects crucial files so that even Administrators can't open, delete, move or rename. We've also seen this happen with files on external or secondary hard drives that aren't system files, including, and especially, photos.

Should work on Windows Vista, 8, 10, and 11.

If the registry hack fails to work, then see How-To Take Full Ownership of Files & Folders.

This tweak is included as part of MajorGeeks Registry Tweaks.
