The subinacl command line tool can change ownership of files, folders, and
registry keys.

Download and install subinacl from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...56-d8fe-4a91-93cf-ed6985e3927b&displaylang=en

An example for a file would be.

subinacl /file %systemdrive%\filename.txt /owner=username
