Hello BleepingCrazy,

I will have to look into that, but I do not think that there is.

Re: Context Menu - Take Ownership

Hi Shawn. Great and easy-to-follow advice! Thanks.
Reason I needed to take ownership of a file was that a downloaded file came
with Trojan.Brisv.Alinf virus which Norton cannot handle.
There is a manual fix which I cannot follow - my screens don't match that which
Norton suggests - can you help?

Re: Context Menu - Take Ownership

You're welcome Clive, and welcome to Vista Forums.

For the other part with Norton, could you post that in a new thread in the forum instead to keep this thread on topic, then send me a PM with a link to that post. I'll be happy to see what I can do to help with it. Be sure to include as many details as possible about the problem with screenshots if needed.

Hello Shibu, and welcome to Vista Forums.

It depends on what you did Take Ownership of for what the owner was by default. What was the full path of the file, folder, or drive? I'll look it up for you.

Sorry Admin after restarting the computer it's OK.
