Here is a new script that I have made and would like to know if this would be enough infomation. It only produces a text file for now, but if you think it is enough I will add it the HTA stuff for it later. I have Updated This Code In A Lower Post

This can do multiple files, but there is a limit to how many the Wscript.Arguments can handle. I believe it can handle under 24 files at a time, but do not quote me on that.

Here it is, just drag and drop the original file on the script, it'll modify permissions for the original file and make another copy of the same file in source directory.. Thank You gunsmokingman! Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim File1, File2 For Each File1 in Wscript.Arguments Act.Run("takeown /A /f " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34)),1,True Act.Run("icacls " & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34) & " /grant administrators:F"),1,True File2 = Split(File1,".") Set File = Fso.GetFile(File1) File.Copy(File2(0) & "_Original." & File2(1)) Next BTW, how can I add now this new script to my right click selection? I have made this new script into a sfx fle that extracts to the Sendto folder, this one does not create a extra copy of the file Save As OwnTheFile_V2 I have made this new script into a sfx fle that extracts to the Sendto folder Save as OwnTheFile_V3 OwnTheFile_V3.exe OwnTheFile_V2.exe

I tried this script on wmplayer.exe and it change the permission for the admin. I just drag and drop it on the this script Save as OwnTheFile_V2

I ran it and got no errors. Are you drag and dropping it on the file, or are you using the sendto folder. I just drag and drop the file on my desktop to test.

Try this 1:\ Make a folder called shell on %systemdrive% 2:\ Copy the file to the new folder then try the ownthefile Note I do not know how permission work on this I only provided a script to make it easier to do. Here is the same script but I have removed making a extra file. Save As OneTheFile_V1.vbs Just open the original script with notepad and select all and paste the above code in it to not make a extra copy.

Have you disable any services? Have you used Vlite to remove anything? On Ultimate when I open the help and support from the start menu it works.

Not working here, script only makes a copy of the original file with new permissions, but the original file retains it's permissions. 1:\ I copy dfrgui.exe to my desktop 2:\ I then used my Sendto OwnTheFile 3:\ As you can see it changed the permissions

Try this script to see if it works. I have it set to pin notepad.exe to the start menu. Save as PinToStartMenu.vbs Also read this Link for more information.

I thank you for providing the code for the script

Here is a VBS script that uses the code provided by Nepali I have made this a sfx file that extracts to the SendTo Folder So all you have to do is select the file and then use the SendTo context menu to use the script. Save As OwnTheFile.vbs Self Extracting VBS OwnTheFile.exe

I agrree and on this, plus there are 2 notepad.exe in Vista 1\ Drive\Windows\notepad.exe 2:\ Drive\Windows\System32\notepad.exe Wrong it easier to right click the text file and select the app you want to open it with and select alway use then what has been posted to change or remove notepad.

You could use a hta to do the same thing to avoid any security warning. Example Yes No Hta
