How can I take ownership of multiple files in Windows?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18446811

Question

Setting it file by file works, but is slow.

Selecting all of them at once doesn't have this configuration.

And the files can't inherit the security properties of the folder because they don't have my ownership.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Use the command line:

takeown /f folder1\folder2\*

OTHER TIPS

  1. Run command as admin

  2. takeown /f . /r /a /d y
