Changing "Owner" Account

Windows XP1106
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?

Re:Changing "Owner" Account

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)
