Hi Brian--
I think you could gain security permissions if you try different methods at
that tab.
Two Ways:
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html
Another way that works:
Rt. click file or folder>highlight Administrators under group name>edit
button>highlight administrators>add>users>check all permissions boxes.
These should work with files and folders and most but not all registry keys.
I think you can do this though, without even taking permissions.
The Vista Bootloader has control. Make sure your BIOS setup is set on DVD
in first boot.Restart the pc with Vista DVD or Vista CD if you have that in
the drive. Use the Repair link in the lower left after the language choice
in setup. The last option on the list is "dos prompt">chose that>type the
following:
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
*this will essentially remove XP from the Vista bootloader
bootrec.exe /fixboot
*this will check that XP is no longer present in Vista's boot.ini
Restart and XP is history.
You also can get this done with Vista Boot Pro 3.3, but the method above
will do the trick for you.

Paying a substantial phone bill to any of the large telcos in the US? I
just betcha many of you are. They have less respect for you than they have
for dirt as does your President. They refuse to talk about how the broke
the law to wire tap you since before 2001 simply taking the option that
whatever the government wanted was fine with them. Now they're being sued
for it and they want immunity without revealing what they did to break the
law. If only you had that kind of immunity the next time you get the urge
to clean out a bank--or perhaps you'd like to empty some of the toys out of
Best Buys. President Screw You threatens to Veto the bill if the Telcos
don't get blanket immunity for the law breaking the administration and the
Telcos refuse to discuss. This is not rule of law; this is anarchy
exponentially worse than the 1984's premise.

Veto Threat on Wiretapping Bill
By REUTERS
The White House threatened to veto wiretap legislation that would set rules
for the surveillance without warrants of foreigners, saying it would hamper
its ability to fight terrorism. The White House Budget Office said the
measure, scheduled for a House vote today, “falls far short of providing the
intelligence community with the tools it needs to collect foreign
intelligence effectively from individuals outside the United States.†The
Senate is working on a separate version of the bill, which would replace a
stopgap surveillance measure that the administration prevailed on Congress
to pass before its August recess.

Senate Intel Panel Finally Sees Some Warrantless Surveillance Docs
By Spencer Ackerman - October 17, 2007, 9:33AM
White House documents about the warrantless surveillance program, long
sought by the Senate Judiciary Committee, are now in the hands of the Senate
intelligence committee.
Why? The intelligence panel, which never issued the subpoenas that judiciary
did, had a different piece of leverage: the possibility of passing
retroactive legal immunity for telecommunications companies that cooperated
with warrantless surveillance demands, a Bush administration priority.
Tomorrow the Senate intelligence committee is expected to mark up its
version of a surveillance bill abridging some of the expanded eavesdropping
authorities given to the administration in August. Its House companion, the
Restore Act, doesn't include any retroactive legal immunity for the telecos,
largely because the Democrats wouldn't bless immunity without knowing what
exactly the companies did. (The administration ignored an offer by Steny
Hoyer (D-MD), the Democratic majority leader in the House, to condition
retroactive immunity on the release of the surveillance documents.) Arlen
Specter, the Judiciary Committee's top Republican, who voted to subpoena the
documents, joined in that chorus yesterday, calling retroactive immunity a
"pig in a poke" absent administration disclosure: "I think it’s unreasonable
to ask us to give them immunity for things we don’t know what they did."
With an immunity-free markup looming in the Senate intelligence committee
tomorrow, the administration appears to have relented. According to Tim
Starks at Congressional Quarterly (not available online):
Senate Intelligence Chairman John D. Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., said his staff
Tuesday reviewed legal opinions and other documents the panel had sought
related to the NSA program. He said his staff was allowed to take notes, but
he hadn't been briefed on their contents yet and intended to view them for
himself.
Although Rockefeller's panel had been tentatively scheduled to mark up its
own FISA legislation Thursday, "There wasn't going to be a markup unless we
got that stuff," he said.
It remains unclear whether the documents delivered to the Senate
intelligence committee are the same as the voluminous material demanded by
the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Politico quotes Rockefeller as saying
that the documents total "probably a couple million pages," but that might
be a bit of an overstatement. Either way, it's unknown as yet if the Senate
bill will actually include a retroactive immunity provision: that's a lot of
material to review in advance of a Thursday mark-up. But the White House
play seems to be to release the documentation in limited fashion --
committee staff read the documents in an "undisclosed location," but were
permitted to take notes -- and use the disclosure as justification for
retroactive immunity.
So far, neither the Senate Judiciary Committee nor any House entity has been
permitted to view the documents. House Judiciary Committee Chairman John
Conyers (D-MI) said he was "extremely disappointed" in a letter last night
to White House legal counsel Fred Fielding. But Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid (D-NV) said yesterday that "we're going to make sure that in the
process, the House is ultimately able to see" the documents. When Michael
Mukasey, the president's pick for attorney general, goes before the Senate
Judiciary Committee today, he will most likely be pressed on his support for
letting the committee view the documents as well.
Rockefeller, often considered a squish by liberals on intelligence issues,
praised the disclosure as a victory for Senate Democrats -- and, by
extension, himself. Politico:
"I am hoarse from screaming," Rockefeller joked about his faceoff with the
White House over the highly classified program. "But I scream well." The
fight over retroactive immunity is still on the horizon
