How to Add “Take Ownership” to the Right-Click Menu in Windows Explorer

Ok, your thinking what's this got to do with Altium.  Well many users including myself ran into some issues after installing or upgrading Windows 10.

For example I had to take ownership of "C:\temp" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Altium\AD17"

click on images to view

At "C:\Program Files (x86)\Altium\AD17"

Application Packages (like Altium) need Full Control to install and update the software.

And I have given myself Full Control (you need Admin Privileges)
