Re: Folder says I need admistrator privileges when I have them?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

How would I "take ownership" other then by using the security options in properties which I already tried and it failed.

I have two folders on my computer right now that both say I do not have privileges to access or delete even after escilating my privileges with UAC. Is there any way I can fix these folders? The claim to have a "undisplayable owner" and I cannot get myself or admin to be the owner.


Have you tried taking ownership?
