Hi Firends,

Here is the command

takeown /F "path of file"

when I use it in cmd prompt which is running as administrators, this command works fine and takes the ownership of requested file.

But when I use same command from vb.net, it does not work here is my vb.net code.

VB

Dim ss As ProcessStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo()

                   ss.UseShellExecute = True
                   ss.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Windows\System32"
                   ss.Verb = "runas"
                   Process.Start("C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe", "/k takeown /F """ & filepath.Text & """")

cmd shows that command is processed successfully and ownership has been taken out. But when I check in the properties of requested file, it shows that it has the previous owner and no new changes to new owner.

Vista/Win7,8 with UAC enabled? Do you run your application "elevated"?
