Thanks, I downloaded the zip file and copied the file TakeControlOf.cmd to
C:\ and ran TakeControlOf C:\
and it started running SUCCESS for 10 mins, but that didn't work, now some
of my application shortcuts has lost it's icon and does not open, I think I
screwed up somewhere along the line, I'm usually pretty good at following
instructions

Clayton,
I am not quite sure you downloaded the right zip file.
The one I mention, once unzipped, contains a *.reg file.
There's no *.cmd file in there.
You install the *.reg by clicking (or double-clicking, depends on your
setup) on it.
And that is all about it.
From there on you get the right-click context menu "Take Ownership" in
Windows Explorer.
No reboot required.
Jane C posted an excellent description in this thread of how to save the
text I posted as a *.reg file.

I have done excaclly what Jane suggested and also downloaded the file
TakeControlOf.zip from http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showthread.php?t=116
but inside this zip file is a file called TakeControlOf.cmd, no .reg file,
so now I am confused.
At least when I right click on the folder it shows Take Ownership so I must
be half way there

Clayton,
Everything is clear now.
This is the right thread
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/showthread.php?t=852
to download the zip file containing the reg file.
