How to take ownership of a folder

administrative credentials. If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home
Edition, you must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the Security tab.

Sharing. By default, Windows XP Professional uses Simple File sharing when
it is not joined to a domain.
