You explaine that to me. Why can't I do it as user/admin.

See above. In Vista, an admin user doesn't have permissions to do everything they did in previous verions of Windows, but still has the ability to take ownership and change permissions. You'll have to be a bit more specific for me to be able to comment further. Unless of course you already have, and don't want to repeat yourself.


The rest of what you have talked about before this about the block, I could care less about it.

And I have said all of this above there. And I am also saying that even if you take ownership in some situations, you're still going to get *access denied*. Because if it was the case as you indicate when someone takes ownership then the problems should be resolved. Sometimes that fixes it and sometimes that does not fix the problem, taking ownership, because I have seen the posts.
