    Installed Windows 7 on my laptop. Beforehand, the files were granted full control to everyone to avoid this problem and now i cant seem to get ownership of the files.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers man... i have to apply it to each file individually though which is going to be a bit of a pain but i dont need to keep all of them.

    no there should be an option to claim all files recursively (all subfolders)

    if you go to settings, security, advanced , owner and edit:

    You'll see a text box at the bottom "replace owner on subcontainers and objects". Tick that. Happy days
