No Security Tab to set permissions on folders and files
I have Win7 Ultimate X86. I have some folders/files I need to delete, but can't because I can't take ownership of them.
I can't take ownership because in Explorer when I right click on the files/folder ther is no security tab. I also have a PC with Ultimate X64 and it the security tab is there for it. I have googled the hell out of this and found no solution. I know there are some people here that may question why I need to take ownership. Please don't go there it's inmaterial. I need to delete them end of story and just need a solution. Thanks

Do you have specific paths you can mention cause that could make a difference too.
