Add "Take Ownership" to Windows 10/11 Context Menu

Need to unlock a protected file or folder? Adding a Take Ownership option to the right-click menu lets you quickly assume ownership and full control of files and folders on Windows 10 and 11 using prebuilt registry files.

• Add Take Ownership (instant execution)
• Add Take Ownership (with pause prompt)
• Remove Take Ownership (clean uninstall)

1) Download Registry File

Download the preferred registry script from the official Windows Tweaks Hub Repository.

2) Merge into Registry

Double-click the .reg file, approve UAC, and confirm merging.

3) Use Context Menu

Right-click any folder or file and select Take Ownership. Ownership is granted immediately without restarting.

• Only run registry files from trusted sources.
• You can open .reg files in Notepad to inspect the commands before running.
• Run the Remove Take Ownership file to cleanly restore original context menu.
