Hello!
I think I made a mistake, please hlep if you can.
I wanted to have access to all the files & folders in Windows 7 (like I had in Windows XP before). I found some instructions on the web on how to do this.
I made a right-click on the C:\ (system disk), Properties, Security tab, Advanced, Owner tab, Edit... and then I chose Administrators, put a tick on Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and then clicked OK.
The ownership got changed for all the files and folders (except for some Avast! files and paging files). Now I can access all folders, even the System Volume Information folder.
I'm afraid that I compromised my PC's security. Practically, did I really make my PC less safe by applying this change? I am aware of the possibility of deleting an important system file/folder by my mistake, but is there more danger?
Thank you.
