Solve : Option to take file-ownership missing?

1.	Solve : Option to take file-ownership missing?
Answer» In a WinXp/SP3 system that I inherited, I have done my utmost to eradicate all trace of the previous owner - and that MAY be why I now have a situation where I am denied access to TXT files stored close to the root [two subfolders down from C:\]. So I cannot READ them, but oddly enough I can run EXE files stored in those same locations. TRYING to take ownership of them results in needing to take a step I can not take, because the option is missing, NAMELY "Replace owner on subcontainers and OBJECTS" is MISSING from the Owner's tab of Advanced Security Settings of such an access- denied file. How can I GET access to reading those text files ?http://www.askvg.com/add-take-ownership-option-in-file-folder-context-menu-in-windows-vista/
