How to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows XP

In XP Home you have to boot in safe mode to see the security tab. In XP Pro
you have to disable simple file sharing.

You take ownership of them. Do a Google search with the terms "take
ownership XP" and you'll find lots of directions.

Just note that the process varies for XP Home or Pro.
