  9. As many of us move forward from Windows XP or prior beta versions of Windows Vista to the final RTM version, I thought this little tip / secret might be in order. You may be aware that Windows Vista includes a number of different ways to upgrade a computer, from a straight in-place upgrade (insert CD, run setup and choose upgrade) to Windows Easy Transfer, which allows you to copy settings, programs and data from an old setup a fresh shiny new OS environment. But I'm the purist type who hates even the thought of leaving any detritus around and insists upon a clean install to a pure, unsullied partition. In doing this, it's not unusual to find some folders that can't be accessed, even by an administrator, because their ACLs were set for accounts with SIDs that applied to an old partition. For example, on my home machine, I switched the C: and D: drive cables around and installed Windows Vista RTM on the new drive. Having tested everything worked, I wanted to delete some old redundant directories (like the old \Program Files directory). If even an administrator can't access the file, how do you take it back? The secret lies in two command-line utilities, one ancient, the other completely revised for this release. Respectively, these are takeown (which takes ownership of a file or directory) and icacls (which sets new ACLs on that directory). I created a small batch command on my system called itsmine.cmd, as follows: takeown /f %1 /r /d y icacls %1 /grant administrators:F /t From an elevated command prompt, you can run a command such as itsmine d:\hard_to_delete and this will reset ownership and ACLs on the hard_to_delete directory such that a command like rd /s d:\hard_to_delete should work. These two lines have saved me a lot of pain over the last week as I've gradually flattened and reinstalled the RTM version of Windows Vista on each of my machines: hopefully they'll be equally useful to you!

  10. Nice to see you back undeadsoldier :w00t:
  11. NP buddy, I have to take another ownership of the file to write this step by step tut :thumbsup: You can also check this article or this thread..
  12. Ok, do it this way: File properties --> Security tab --> Advanced --> Owner Tab and click edit. User Account Control window will pop-out, click continue.. Now select the owner (your account or Administrators group and click OK. Windows Security window will pop-out stating that you'll need to reopen this object's properties before you can view or change permissions..Click OK 3 times.. Again click on the properties of that file --> Security Tab --> Edit. You should be able to change the file permissions now.
  13. Very good, preety nice icons :thumbsup:
  14. Yup, that's the best part of Vista, it's security You should take ownership of the file before you can replace or edit it.. :thumbsup:
