When I click on some folders I get a message error 1.

clicking contiue gets me error 2.

Clicking security tab leads me through several screens until I have to accept owner ship, close all windows and it works. There is an option for all sub folders etc, but this says access denided when I try it.

I can do it folder by folder but I have so many folders to do.

Help ... please

I'm guessing it s the 3rd . . .

Right click "Command Prompt" in Start==>Programs==>Accessories and click "Run as administrator"
Enter the drive letter for the logical drive where you want to take ownership of files.
Type "takeown /?" (minus quotes) for explanation of command

E:\>takeown /?

You should see the following :-

__________________________________________________ ______________________________
________________________________________________
TAKEOWN [/S system [/U username [/P [password]]]]
/F filename [/A] [/R [/D prompt]]

Description:
This tool allows an administrator to recover access to a file that
was denied by re-assigning file ownership.

Parameter List:
/S system Specifies the remote system to
connect to.

/U [domain\]user Specifies the user context under
which the command should execute.

/P [password] Specifies the password for the
given user context.
Prompts for input if omitted.

/F filename Specifies the filename or directory
name pattern. Wildcard "*" can be used
to specify the pattern. Allows
sharename\filename.

/A Gives ownership to the administrators
group instead of the current user.

/R Recurse: instructs tool to operate on
files in specified directory and all
subdirectories.

/D prompt Default answer used when the current user
does not have the "list folder" permission
on a directory. This occurs while operating
recursively (/R) on sub-directories. Valid
values "Y" to take ownership or "N" to skip.

/? Displays this help message.

NOTE: 1) If /A is not specified, file ownership will be given to the
current logged on user.

2) Mixed patterns using "?" and "*" are not supported.

3) /D is used to suppress the confirmation prompt.

Examples:
TAKEOWN /?
TAKEOWN /F lostfile
TAKEOWN /F \\system\share\lostfile /A
TAKEOWN /F directory /R /D N
TAKEOWN /F directory /R /A
TAKEOWN /F *
TAKEOWN /F C:\Windows\System32\acme.exe
TAKEOWN /F %windir%\*.txt
TAKEOWN /S system /F MyShare\Acme*.doc
TAKEOWN /S system /U user /F MyShare\foo.dll
TAKEOWN /S system /U domain\user /P password /F share\filename
TAKEOWN /S system /U user /P password /F Doc\Report.doc /A
TAKEOWN /S system /U user /P password /F Myshare\*
TAKEOWN /S system /U user /P password /F Home\Logon /R
TAKEOWN /S system /U user /P password /F Myshare\directory /R /A
__________________________________________________ ______________________________
______________________

To take ownership for the current user enter :

E:\>takeown /f * /R /D Y

You should then see messages like these :-

SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "E:\My Pictures\Lee's Pics\IT10086.JPG" now owned
by user "Jim-PC\Jim".

SUCCESS: The file (or folder): "E:\My Pictures\Lee's Pics\IT10087.JPG" now owned
by user "Jim-PC\Jim".

You can also try this handy tool . . .

XdN » XdN Tweaker

One of its options is to add 'Take Ownership' to the right-click context menu.
