Thanks for the info!

Do you know how in vista to take full permission of an entire HDD? I am an IT, I reload 5 to 10 systems a day, from different customers. That means taking ownership and effective permissions of each account that has a password. It kind of gets anoying when all five kids have passwords and each account is marked private. All I have to do is save their data and reload their system. Normaly in XP I would use the System Privilege Escalation which gave me instantly all power to get to their stuff and get out. Now that everything has switched to vista It takes me longer to get in and out. (And no i don't want to dual-boot,..lol)

Any Ideas?

cacls "path and file name" /G <your username>:F to get full control from a command prompt.

I get "NOTE: Cacls is now deprecated, please use Icacls."

Would you elaborate on this? Please.

Thanks ----AGITA
