in explorer, select the file, right click and chose properties. go to the security tab, select advanced, change to the owner tab. there you can take over ownership for the file to the current user (assuming you are logged in as a user with administrativ rights, though i think you said you were logged in as admin). if you close the properties dialog now and reopen it, you can check on the security tab if your user has modify rights. if not, grant modify rights (again file properties, security tab). see if you now can edit the file

not exactly an easy procedure, especially if you don't know all that to begin with, and doing that for every file I need to edit - not gonna be fun, hence trying to get a global setting. Anyway I'll have a look at that ownership extension, cheers
