You've certainly come across the ‘You do not have permission to perform this action.’ message once or ten times in the past while trying to move or copy certain files from your computer.

This is all tied down to the ownership of files. Even if you are logged into your operating system as the administrator, you don’t have full control over system files and folders. You may own your operating system because you purchased it but some files and folders are still owned by ‘Trusted Installer’ (figuratively speaking) which prevents you from making any modifications or relocating them.

If you’re a system modder, ownership issues need to be taken care of before you make any serious modifications. Windows Se7en File Replacer is a lightweight tool especially created to help you replace unowned system files.

It does so by backing up the original file while saving its applied ownerships. It then takes Admin Ownerships and replaces the with those of the file that is inserted into the application. At the end of the process, the ownerships are restored to their initial state. The best part of using Windows Se7en File Replacer is not that it allows you to replace system files but because you can do it while preserving the original ownerships.

The entire process takes just over a second to complete and can be performed automatically or manually. In automatic mode, the application looks into the ‘system32’ directory and matches the new and old files. While in manual mode, you get to select the new and old files that you want to replace.

As an application Windows Se7en File Replacer displays a user-friendly interface that’s pretty much self-explanatory. It’s important to know that if you are not well aware of the risks you undertake using this tool, you can seriously destabilize your system if not crash it entirely.

In closing, Windows Se7en File Replacer is a very handy tool to have if you’re looking to take ownership of system files before you replace them, but it does leave room for some negative side effects if you’re not careful.
