| Vista Home Basic 32bit | Re: TrustedInstaller - Restore as Owner Hi Brink. Thanks for the guide, got TrustedInstaller back as owner, but now i got another problem. I cant install or uninstall programs. I tried uninstalling norton nd just as it starts uninstalling, it then begins with error reporting, i cant even do updates on norton now. Installed new ATI drivers as well and i cant open the control center anymore. I ran SFC (thanks for that as well) and it says everything is fine. What can i do? I cant restore because the point before all this went down isn't in the list anymore, unless there's another way? Would a startup repair actually help, seeing as the SFC scan says all is ok? Or is the only option now a clean install? (I hav a OEM Recovery Install disk) Thanks Calvin |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: TrustedInstaller - Restore as Owner Hi Calvin, Welcome to Vista Forums. ![]() If it is just Norton that you are having problems with, then try the Norton Removal Tool to clean up the remnants. Download and run the Norton Removal Tool If that does not help, then you can try doing a Repair install to see if it can fix the problems before having to do a clean install again. Repair Install For Vista Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: TrustedInstaller - Restore as Owner Hi, I added a context menu item for folders to "open command window here (administrator). Somehow it the command got replaced with a take ownership command. I realized this when I right-clicked on the System32 folder in C:\Windows and selected the admin command button but a command window opened up and started taking ownership of the folder and all its contents. I stopped it as soon as I realized what was happening but now I don't know which files were under which ownership originally. Is it safe to simply make TrustedInstaller the owner of System32 and all its subcontainers and objects? |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: TrustedInstaller - Restore as Owner Hi sbw07, Most of everything in and including the System32 folder has TrustedInstaller as the owner. There are a few a items that should be owned by System and your administrator account instead, but there is just to many items to go through them all. You should be ok setting everything to TrustedInstaller though since the permission levels will still allow the others access. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: TrustedInstaller - Restore as Owner Thanks, If there are any files that belong under different ownership that are particularly important, that you can list offhand, I would be very grateful. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: TrustedInstaller - Restore as Owner Your welcome, but I do not have any offhand. There were just too many files in that folder. You should be fine though since the permission levels will still be there for the other owners for access. |
