TakeOwnershipPro is a free utility for PC devices made by Top Password Software. It is a tool that enables users to manage and configure access control for the various files on their computers. With it, they will be able to take ownership of any file that they want.

The basic principle of TakeOwnershipPro is similar to that of Folder Lock or Folder Password Lock Pro. Where the latter restricts access to files, the former limits how they can be modified or manipulated by other users. This can be on individual files or entire folders as needed.

What does TakeOwnershipPro do?

The way file ownership works, as its name suggests, is that whenever you create a file or folder, you take ownership of it. There are a couple of benefits to this. For one, you're automatically granted permission to access them. The second is that it also affords you the ability to change or modify any and all files as you wish.

There will be times that the file you're handling is not your own, and this comes with certain restrictions. TakeOwnershipPro basically lets you take ownership of any file or folder to address the aforementioned issues. There are two ways to achieve this. The first is from the tool itself, where you can browse or drag-and-drop the ones you want to own. The second is via the easier right-click context menu.

Once done, you will be able to handle and do whatever you want with the files and folders after taking ownership of them. One thing that would have been nice would be the option to assign ownership to other user accounts on the same PC. Apart from that, this tool works quite well and for what it was intended for.

Easily take ownership of any file

If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you had issues with files due to ownership concerns, TakeOwnershipPro is a very useful tool that can help you out with that. It's free, easy to use, and offers two methods to choose from. It is a handy tool to have around with you if these instances ever happen to you.
