Changing "Owner" Account

Okay everyone, I hope this is a stupid question. When I
bought my computer last year my husband was the first one
to set up his user account so consequently he is now also
the "owner" account. I can not get into his files as I
am denied access to the "owner's" files although I am set
up as an administrator. He also set up the printer and
now this is where all of our HP photos default to. Is
there anyway I can change the "owner" from him to me?

Are you running NT4 ??
Checking properties on a file, if you are administrator)
gives you an option to take ownership.
(Right click on the file)

Promise him a night of fantastic sex and you will own him forever
