[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas]
@="Take Ownership"
"NoWorkingDirectory"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\runas\command]

"IsolatedCommand"="cmd.exe /c takeown /f \"%1\" /r /d y && icacls \"%1\" /grant administrators:F /t"

Copy this to a new reg file named Vista TakeOwnership- Disable

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\runas]
