How to take ownership of folder/files in Windows 10 – Guide

This policy setting determines which users can take ownership of each securable object on the device, including Active Directory objects, NTFS files and folders, printers, registry keys, services, processes, and threads. Each object has an owner, regardless of whether the object is on an NTFS volume or in an Active Directory database. The owner controls how permissions are set for the object and to whom permissions are granted. By default, the owner is the person or process that created the object. Owners can always change object permissions, even if they are denied access to the object. Sometimes you need to gain full access to a file or folder in Windows 10.
