takeown: Take ownership of the specified directory.
$ takeown /d ${path\to\directory}
try on your machine
The command "takeown /d ${path\to\directory}" is used in Windows command prompt or PowerShell to take ownership of a specified directory.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "takeown" is the command that is used to take ownership of a file or folder in Windows.
- "/d" is a switch to specify that the following argument is a directory.
- "${path\to\directory}" is the placeholder for the actual path to the directory in the command. You need to replace this placeholder with the path to the directory you want to take ownership of.
By executing this command, you will take ownership of the specified directory, granting you full control over it and allowing you to modify its permissions, access, and other settings.
