    No Admin Rights in Windows 7

    Hi,

    I have logged in as a administrator, but I don't have admin rights. I cannot access my f drive, I have Windows 7 as my operating system. I have already tried the Take ownership thing in Command prompt but nothing is working...help me please

    Change the setting to default. Turn the computer off, only for a while, and try to see if you can do what we were trying to do, you may need to reboot the system after shutdown.

    As you mentioned ownership by the command is treated, let's try the following steps:

    1. Click on the F drive, select Properties.

    2. Click the Security tab --- --- --- Owner advanced edit, select your current user account, check "Replace owner on sub-containers and objects", click Apply.

    Try the following steps :

    - Boot with F8, go to the domain controller restore mode. (I'm not sure what the exact name is.)
    - Register
    - From start Regedit
    - Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
    Search EnableLUA and placed at 0
    Search ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin and put it to 0.
    restart your PC.
    - Now start MMC
    - Enhanced Management Computer SNAPIN
    - Storage goto -> diskmanagement
    - RightClick your Windows partition and click Properties
    - Go to security
    - Click Advanced
    - Owner of goto
    - Click Edit
    - Select the owner (in my case I used my personal account is the administrator)
    - Mutlipe times click OK.
    - About MMC
    - Reboot PC
    - Log in general
    - From start Regedit
    - Restore the UAC settings ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin EnableLUA = 1 and = 3.
