Revert Ownership To TrustedInstaller
Revert Ownership To TrustedInstaller
This Doc only applies to Windows Vista/7 or later
We sometimes come into cases where we should take ownership of certain System Files right..??? Well, in case of certain system files, some may be already noticed that the default ownership goes to ‘TRUSTED INSTALLER’. You also be noticed that after altering the ownership one couldn’t revert to the original owner, which is ‘TRUSTED INSTALLER’ as in this case. We can’t even search Trusted Installer as in the normal way too. So now you would ask that, what if we don’t reverse the ownership to default values???? The answer is simple. The ownership is given to Trusted Installer for security purposes so that the ‘Verified Windows Installer’ could only change the file but not the Standard Users nor even the Admins. Even though there’re viruses which overcome this barrier but it’s better to restore the ownership back to normal. So what we do now..??? No problems, there’re two methods. One is lengthy GUI (Graphical User Interface) way & the other, short & sweet CLI (Command Line Interface) way. You are free to choose either one of them according to your tastes.
