Add Take Ownership option to Right-click Menu on Windows 10

Often, users must have ownership of a file on a Windows operating system to edit, rename or delete protected files on the operating system. However on Windows 10 mastering a file or folder is not as easy as on other versions. If before to master a file on the GUI (graphical interface) or Command Prompt, now on Windows 10 can not be done.

If you regularly use the option to master files to edit or delete files, you can add the Take ownership option to the right-click menu to use it. By adding the Take ownership option to the right-click menu, you can master the files in seconds.

To add the Take ownership option to the right-click menu on Windows 10, you must perform some tweaking on the Windows Registry. However, not all users know how to manipulate the Windows Registry and further editing the Windows Registry poses a high risk to the system.

So to add the Take ownership option to the right-click menu on Windows 10, you can use the TakeOwnershipEx utility.
