The following two commands let you firstly take ownership of all the files in the specified folder and then grant full access to the files to the administrators group.
takeown /f /r /d y
icacls /grant administrators:F /T
You can also use the following script (credit to: http://WinHelpOnline.com ):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;Adds Take Ownership command to the context menu in Vista or Win 7
;Also provides "Administrators" group with Full Control permissions.
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"Extended"=""
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F"
[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"Extended"=""
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]
@="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"
Simply save it with a ".reg" file extension. You should then be able to right click a folder WHILE holding down shift and selecting "Take Ownership."
