batch & VBS script to take file ownership

[N1K]

Working perfect...

please add the script to rename the file for backup purpose well.. as for previous one..

B)

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

Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Dim File1
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 
Next

Save as OwnTheFile_V3

Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim File, File1, File2
For Each File1 in Wscript.Arguments 
Act.Run("takeown /A /f "  & Chr(34) & File1 & chr(34)),0,True

Set File = Fso.GetFile(File1)
File.Copy(File2(0) & "_Original." & File2(1))

wooo something i was looking for, hmm isit there anyway you can take over everyfile because that would save time an effort in a sense

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I believe it can handle under 24 files at a time, but do not quote me on that.

[Nepali]

Yesss, it is working great with every files i have checked till now..

if problem persist.. rectification will obviously be done

Thanks Gunsmokingman for his effort for making the VBS script for sendto menu.

[3aces]

hmmm 24 aint to bad.....providing you need to do a directory cheers

now you can take ownership with the registry 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"

SHIFT + Right Click = Gain Ownership context menu

i get a permissions error when i try to run and i'm not sure how to force it to run as admin (or whatever permissions are needed)

now you can take ownership with the registry 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"

SHIFT + Right Click = Gain Ownership context menu

This doesnt allow for gaining of ownership of executeables

[gunsmokingman]

I used this script to change the permission on mspaint.exe

Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 Dim File, File1, File2
  For Each File1 in Wscript.Arguments 
   Act.Run("takeown /f " & File1),0,True 
   Act.Run("icacls " & File1 & " /grant administrators:F"),1,True 
   File2 = Split(File1,".")
   Set File = Fso.GetFile(File1)
   File.Copy(File2(0) & "_Original." & File2(1))
  Next

The other scripts I posted where to change permission in the Program Files because of the space in the name.

Before OwnTheFile

After OwnTheFile

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this unkown user?

I would like to remove it if I could, I am the only user on this computer and the guest account is disabled.

Should I run a script to take ownership of "everything" ?
