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*.

Right, and then you set permisssions on the object (because as the owner
of the object, you have the ability to do that), and all is well.

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.

As I said, taking ownership by itself does not necessarily fix
permissions problems. Often, you have to set the permissions after
taking ownership of the object. I've never seen it fail when done that
way, unless it wasn't done properly (and then, doing it properly fixes
it).

universe gets that.
