Add the Take Ownership command ti the context menu, wokrs great:

Thanks, I did manage to figure out where some of the profile folders are actually hiding - like Send To.
Not sure if it's the same in Vista, but user profiles in 7 are completely different to those in XP and has a lot of shortcuts to the actual folders. I'm guessing it's to keep compatibility for older programs.

769556 2009-05-02 03:59:00 Well, May 5th isn't far away. Pretty sure I will be giving it a go but I will be trying an install over Vista.

If we load the Ultimate ver, guess there won't be a problem 'down grading' when we load the release ver?

769557 2009-05-02 04:05:00 I have been using the x86 of the RC for over a week now and think it is awesome. I have not come across any problems at all. Loading times are awesome, no compt. problems. Only strange thing is that Firefox doesn't act they way it did in Vista as it does in Windows 7, the txt screws around alot and doesn't adjust itself correctly. Don't know why ....

Only other annoying thing is the new taskbar layout they have used, can be hard to drag and drop files compared to prev. versions of windows.

769558 2009-05-04 02:25:00 According to the MS email received today, the rtm version can't be installed over the rc version which answers one of my questions above. linw (53)
769559 2009-05-04 03:15:00 Is there anyone in Nelson who could get me a copy of the RC when it is released? I haven't got broadband..... sammo450 (13626)
