Hello,
I'm facing an embarrassing problem (and that's putting it mildly; if I can still have kids afterward, I might consider myself lucky...). When I want to modify my Hosts file, I can't... it tells me that TrustedInstaller needs to grant me permission...
How do I put a bullet between the eyes of this guy who's got more power than me?
More seriously, how can I stop seeing this message and gain full access to my PC?
Configuration: Windows 7

Well, I couldn't settle the score with that jerk...
But at least now he knows who he's up against...
To gain total control over your PC (which is normal, right? It's your PC after all...), you need to go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, and run as administrator.
Then type: takeown /A /F "[folder path]/*"
You will have full access to this directory
You will have to repeat this for each folder :/
If you only need one file, you can choose to replace the asterisk with the name of that file to gain control only over that one.
Together, let's take back control of our PCs!!!!!
