I am running Vista 64 Home Premium. I was trying to remove an Adobe file that
would not delete. Unlocker doesn't come with 64 bit support yet so I was
forced to try and take ownership and get rid of it. I never got that to work,
but somewhere in the process I screwed up my permissions so there are now lots
of things "I don't have permission to use" EVEN when logged in directly as THE
Administrator. Under users I have Administrator, I have my user with
Administrator privileges and it won't let me make any changes to that. I can't
run scans on drives, I can't use just about anything from the context menu. I
must of changed some permission and then cloned it to the whole system.
What did I do and how the hell do I fix it short of restoring a three week old
back up.
I really freaking hate UAC
thanks!
Should be easy to fix...
Start an elevated cmd
then run:
takeown /f <FULL FILE PATH>
Or if you prefer the GUI:

I like method 2 option 2.
