So, I know how to take ownership and full control of files and such, but I was just wondering if it's fully safe?

I don't need ownership of just certain folders, I was thinking I could just take full control and ownership of the c drive itself and that give me full control / permissions for anything within the c drive.

Is this correct?
I just don't wanna have to bother doing it folder by folder if and when I need to in the future.

It should be completely safe unless you start doing really sketchy stuff, just be careful, but other than that, you should be OK

Ok, thanks. I don't do anything 'sketchy', so I'm not worried about that. Just wanted to make sure it didn't affect anything the pc does.

Just as hasanas said, it's safe unless you do something that could damage your pc

Create a blank file called Take Ownership.reg

Open with your favorite text editor and paste the following

Code

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"
"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

This will add a Context menu option that will take the ownership of the selected files.
