OK, I've about reached my limit with Windows 7 and its rules and
regulations. Since I am the only user and I am not on a network, I want
complete and unfettered access to all registry settings, folders, and
files on MY computer. Isn't there any utility program out there that can
do this automatically? (And please, I don't want to rehash the potential
security issues with this approach). I just want a simple utility
program, and would prefer not to to have to go through all the command
line stuff like TAKEOWN, ICACLS, etc, etc. And I want to do this for
the entire C: partition. And yes, I am aware of the security risks.

Thanks for all the comments and helpful suggestions. In addition to those,
and in case anybody else is interested, I did find some utilities that will
directly accomplish these tasks rather easily, which I've listed below:

For Folder and File Ownership: (adds a right mouse shortcut)

For Registry Key Ownership:

Might as well download this too:

You'll need it when you start getting recursive directories.
