I personally choose my own account because that’s the default behavior in Windows when you create a new folder/file. In the Change owner to box, select your user account or Administrators. This will pop up another dialog where you get the option to change the owner. If you have no access to the folder, you’ll see a message stating you have to be an Administrator to view the security properties. To get started, you need to right-click on the file or folder, choose Properties and then go to the Security tab. Taking ownership is unfortunately quite a process, so it’s best to have ample time and patience before attempting this. Take Ownership of Files and Folders in Windows If you get the You have been denied permission to access this folder message after clicking Continue, that means you are not the owner and you’ll have to first take ownership of the folder before you can change any permissions.
