Re: recursively change owner windows 7
Use [`takeown`](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753024.aspx) from the command prompt to take ownership a folder, all its subfolders and files recursively:
```
takeown /f "c:\folder\subfolder" /r
```
This works well, but if you don't run your command line console as administrator it may fail for files you don't own.
