Make sure you right click ont he file you want to take ownership of and then click the option just for that.

I dont get it. I just ran the .reg key and then copied the file to the system32 folder. Where exactly should i use those options you stated?

You copied the .reg file to your system32 folder? :S that doesn't do anything. When you click on the file, the registry key gets added to your registry and makes the changes that need to be made already. You didn't need to copy it anywhere, you could even delete the .reg file after you "merged" it with your registry. You should now have an option in your right click menu on your mouse that says something like "Take ownership".

You right click on the file that you want permissions for, and click that option.

I didnt copy that to the system32 folder pal. I only copied the .dll file to it. But i didnt know about the right click and take ownership part and i didnt do that. So i guess that i now know where i went wrong. Ill try it again and see if it works this time. Thanks again for your help

That background or the box that moved the avatar to the left? Windows 7 makes it easier for people to change the background image itself. Whereas if you want to do that in vista your going to have to make modifications to the contents in some of the visual files, or registry. I do like the original layout for the logon screen where its a box, and the avatar is at the top above the password input, but others are different.

I think the most important thing about this anyway is for the learning purpose.
