okey... here you go

disable UAC first.. (control panel--->user account-->Turn user account control on or off-->remove tick-->ok)

go to system32 [run(winkey +r)-->system32]

locate notepad

rt click on it-->properties-->security tab-->choose administator-->advance-->choose owner tab--> click edit-->click administrator-->ok-->OK-->on security tab again click administrator--->click edit-->click administrator again-->give full permission by putting tick mark on FULL-->ok-->ok

Delete notepad or rename to else

paste ur fav editor as notepad.exe

Voila...

cheers

the only issue with this is i'm not so certain that i want to disable UAC, and i've heard that disabling it and then re-enabling it causes issues.

it will never.. not to be so worried

here u can use script as well to gain the file ownership

Shift Right on the file you want to gain ownership and click Gain ownership

then do whatever u like with the file

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]

@="Gain Ownership"

"Extended"=""

"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]

@="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"

"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]

@="Gain Ownership"

"Extended"=""

"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]

@="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /A /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

Sadly that script does not working here. No such option when I right click a folder or file when holding down the shift key or not.

this is for windows Vista

not for windows XP

save that script on notepad and save it as reg file

merge it

now only u can see the option press shift + rt click on the file

This exploit from long ago tampered with notepad, so maybe given that practically every user will eventually run it, they decided to lock it down to prevent tampering.

Yes this works but shift + right clicking on notepad does not give you that gain option. It does on other files but not notepad.

Try this vbs script

Thread For Take ownership

I just tried, but doesn't work with .EXE on Windows and System32 folders, with other files works perfectly, maybe is due by some update.

Run as administrator is causing u the problem

Merge this registry script and u will be able to take the EXE file ownership

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\runas]

merge it

now follow the previous steps

one thing linux still has better is with root you can f*** up your OS as much as you want if you know what you're doing.

yeah,, even in windows, if are logged with the administrative rights u will be able to do the same as u do in linux from root

but i hope this is better regarding the security
