Basically the procedure is as following (had to use another file for the example, because I've already changed permissions for mapisvc.inf)..
- Turn off your User Account Control (UAC), it's easier... Check out the help file, it's stated there; When viewing the Security tab for the file Properties, click on Learn about access control and permissions:

- The help file Note'll tell ya: "If this button is UAC protected, you might not be able to modify any security settings. However, you can at least view them by using the Advanced button."

- Then click on Advanced, select the Owner tab, click on Edit, select your Username (your current Windows account), then Apply & Ok. You'll have to clear a prompt (Ok).

- Ok again and then select your Username (the current Windows account) & click on edit:

Select your Username and checkmark Full Control. Apply & Ok.

You'll have to clear another prompt (Ok).

That's it, your're good to go! :d

Btw., check out some guy's notes too; Links:
