since my computer is a tool, not a lifestyle, I prefer the old simpler version of windows mail instead of the win 7 offering from MS. I heard windows mail was still there in win 7 but a bit tricky to find. I've now located it but need to "take ownership" of all the files in windows mail. This is new to me, how does one take ownership of a file?

How to Take Ownership in Windows 7

1. Locate the file or folder on which you want to take ownership in windows explorer
2. Right click on file or folder and select “Properties” from Context Menu
3. Click on Security tab

9. Click ok when Prompt is displayed

10. Now Owner name must have changed.
11. Now click Ok to exist from Properties

Once you have taken the ownership of file or folder next part comes is Granting Permissions to that file/folder or object.
