I am trying to take ownership of a folder of a user that is no longer here because we need access to some of the data. I was able to retrieve the folder from a previous backup. I copied it to my desktop and used the command line to take ownership. I ran C:\windows\system32&gt;takeow<wbr />n /f &quot;C:\foldername&quot; /r /d y that I found on Google Search. It said I was the owner now but when I try to use teracopy (to overcome long filenames) &nbsp;to copy the folder to another location I get access denied to some of the files. Is there a way around this?

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

File Sharing Software

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Windows 10 is a personal computer operating system featuring the "universal application architecture" (UAP); apps can be designed to run across multiple devices with nearly identical code, including PCs, tablets, smartphones, embedded systems, Xbox One, Surface Hub and HoloLens.
