Take ownership of a not system directory structure

Hi

Should I take ownership and get full control of the entire contents of a not system directory structure (also containing files and symbolic links and not) that, now, this check belongs to TrustedInstaller or System users.

Then, from the Command Prompt, how do I do this?

Thanks

Bye

No, you should not.
Typically you’ll use “take ownership” in some very specific situations only.
Taking ownership of entire directories can have the disadvantage of degrading overall file system integrity & security.
