To give yourself full control over the file or folder and stop a potential “You need permission to perform this action” message you must first take ownership from the current owner and then give yourself permission to read, execute or modify it. As an example, TrustedInstaller owns Notepad.exe so even an administrator cannot delete or move the file and will receive a “File Access Denied” error.

A standard user account has some restrictions while an administrator should have pretty much complete control over the whole system. Most Windows users would know that there are two main types of user account for individuals, a standard user account and an administrator account.
