Vince and others, This is a useful reg update that I find I use all the time. It adds an extension to Explorer right click that allows you to take ownership of any file or folder.

Doofus here, managed to remove all rights to a folder I need, but removed them for administrators only. Don't ask me how, I don't know. But if you're logged in with any of the three admin logins, including the original that came with the server, you can't even open the folder, let alone (most importantly) change the permissions. Luckily, the users can still access the folder, so it's not critical at the moment, but a user doesn't have rights to change permissions, so I can't restore access that way. Any thoughts on how I can get the bullet out of my foot and get admin rights back? Thanks.
