I have read What is Takeown and How to Use it to take Ownership of Files and Folders According to it, to take ownership of a folder and its sub-folders, I first need to cd to the relevant directory and type the following in an elevated command prompt: Code: takeown /f "<foldername>" /r /d y However, the above action will not allow me to make changes to the files in the folder and its sub-folders, is that right? I have to take the following step in order to edit any of the files: Code: icacls "<foldername>" /grant %username%:F /T Once the above action is taken, I will then be able to edit files in the relevant directory, correct? After I have made the necessary changes, in order to reset the relevant folder and its sub-directories to their original default permissions, I will have to: Code: icacls * /t /q /c /reset Is the above the correct command?
