Take Ownership Multiple files, folders, subfolders

Take Ownership Multiple files, folders, subfolders.


I'm not talking about system files and I'm not talking about the system. please understand it!


I am talking about user files such as text files, music, videos, pictures (partiton Non-System!)
I repeat, I'm not talking about any system files!


Menu Take Owner - I can only do this for one file or for multiple files, but I have to do it one by one and confirm with the Administrator permission.


I want regular use of each file:
COPY
DELETE




But for each such operation I have to confirm each action.

What should be improved in the script, I would not have to confirm for each file.
What to add in the function (Apply for each file, folder and subfolders)
Select MANY folders and I want to make the "Ownership"... But not work.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" /r /d y && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F /t"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" /r /d y && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F /t"

Hi maki. :wave:


All the following changes are obviously at your own risk.

You should probably use takeown parameters /R /D Y and icacls parameters /T /Q.

Read More:

takeown parameter /R
(Recurse) Instructs tool to operate on files in specified directory and all subdirectories.

takeown parameter /D prompt
Default answer used when the current user does not have the "list folder" permission on a directory. This occurs while operating recursively (/R) on sub-directories. Valid values "Y" to take ownership or "N" to skip.

icacls parameter /T
Indicates that this operation is performed on all matching files/directories below the directories specified in the name.

icalcs parameter /Q
Indicates that icacls should suppress success messages.

Therefore the registry script could become:

I do not use anything that may result in data loss.
I've lost a lot of data and more NO!

Still looking for features in Windows 7 similar to Windows 10.
Aplly All all [ON / ENABLED] and do not ask again.
