Heres something to try .See if the takeown button will work on these.Can you Takeown these files? Or the files in the System Volume Information folder?
C:WindowsSystem32LogFilesWMIRtBackup
EtwRTDiagLog.etl
EtwRTEventLog-Application.etl
EtwRTEventlog-Security.etl
EtwRTEventLog-System.etl
EtwRTMsMpPsSession.etl
Also on the video 3 it has your gmail address & what is probably your name.
The flip 3D looked interesting but didn't get exactly how to do it.

i know guys on this forum are more tech informed thats not they type of person these videos were meant for, but anyway i'm taking requests for a 4th video.

MttFrog13 ;The videos are good & helpful.I just wanted to let you know Vista doesn't let anyone takeown a few of its files.
I have worked around both the SVI folder & the files above but not with takeown.
At your own risk & please check these out before you use them.From an administrator command prompt.
The Vista drive for example C:>
This is safe at command prompt type icacls c:  This just gives some information about permissions.
These are for advanced users:
WARNING !!!
TAKEOWN /F * /A /R /D Y 
then
icacls * /grant:r Administrators:F /T /C /L
Again WARNING !!!
Please gather more information before using these.I had to call MS & reactivate after using them but I now have administrator permissions for almost everything in my Vista.& I don't use UAC.

It's a sticky ? seems like Vista is dead and gone, I still think it's win 7 or XP ,sure support
for X p is now buried , but I support computers running win M.e , ( win 9x ) and got a free customer on 98,
and doing OK ( silver surfer), her computer is a Stapes 750 Mhz, she 89 y , she uses email for family across the world

and my Numero Uno customer , and still on 56k dial up , but she can still type faster than me ,


I am kinda thinking is anyone still on Vsta? or is it a clear cut fight betweem XP and 7 ,?
maybe a poll is needed ,?
win 98
win M.e ,( never had a problem with it )
XP
Vista ( makes me think of visit but ain't staying )
Win 7
or are you a mac fan ? ,far to rich in this dog eat dog world ,

BTW I started out with win 3.,1 ,and no I dont want to go back

I've got a pole for Vista. It's called Linux. It clears that Vista right out of the machine in one clean swipe.
