Not sure about first question, IMO TrustedInstaller.

Tripredacus Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am going to guess that System does. A process running under the local system account can exercise the take-ownership privilege to gain access.- Windows Internals Part 1, 6th Edition.

vinifera Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I already have "take ownership"but it clashes as trusted installer doesn't allow me changes or deletion even iftake ownership was/is applied sure I can do then things from PE but for "on the fly" changes its annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
351837 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Take Ownership > copy to desktop > make changes > rename original one (.old or .bak) > paste "new" one, always worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 If I am to understand the quote correctly, it is that being a child of the System account is what allowed another account to take ownership of something. That may mean that if you were to set deny permissions for the System account on an object, Trusted Installer may not be able to take ownership. I may be wrong, as the last time I did something like that was in Windows XP. I took ownership of a file, then removed all permissions except Read for the System account. The item in question was not part of the OS, however, it was a file associated with a virus that I had difficulty in removing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
