UFicle.invoke("File ownership in Windows") by BrainBug 2007-05-18 14:28:10
To change ownership of a file to an arbitrary user, in *NIX I can simply do chown $user $file as root. Is there a way to do something similar under Windows with Administrator privileges? The Security Settings dialog only lets me take ownership for my own account or "Administrators"...
