Taking Ownership Of a Folder

Taking Ownership Of a Folder

Sometimes when you reinstall WindowsXP, you can receive an Access Denied error when trying to open a previous user's directory.

To take ownership of that folder again:

Log on with an account that has administrator rights

Right click on the folder

Select Properties

Click on the Security tab

Click on the Advanced button

Click on the Owner tab

In the list of Names, click on your name

To take ownership, click on Replace owner on subcontainers and objects

Click OK and Yes
