Using the newest version of WinBubble, adding the option to any file types context menu is very easy.

You don’t need to memorize or go back to this article in order to get the settings.

  • Copy to Clipboard the Command

cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F

  • Type the file type extension that you want to edit e.g. .sln file
  • Click the Open with option

addfiletypesln

Create new Context menu item by putting the values

Name   runas

Command   cmd.exe /c takeown /f "%1" && icacls "%1" /grant administrators:F

Finally, Click the Save Option.

That’s it!

You can do many things without digging your registry, using shell extension editor or writing your own program to add any option to your context menu.

Note: “Take the Ownership” of the file uses Runas to elevate the command to administrator privileges. If you added the option “Take the Ownership”, It will be disabled because Runas can only be used once.

Hope this helps!
