Permission problem in Vista

Vista known for its annoying permission control. I struggled with this problem after reinstalling Vista. Some of my folders on D drive which seperated from C (where Vista located) could not be able to access due to lack of permission. Hey, I'm an administrator of this computer, am I ?
Spinning with the problem hours, sometimes just want to get back to XP for god's sake.
Fortunately, I found solutions to this problem which make Bill happier (for I don't have to be back to XP).
All you have to do is just "take own" back your folders by doing the following commands.

For Files:

takeown /f file_name /d y
icacls file_name /grant administrators:F

For Folders or Directories (will perform action recursively):

takeown /f directory_name /r /d y
icacls directory_name /grant administrators:F /t

Be patient while waiting for the opertion to complete.

LESS offers VIM-alike keybindings which I used most of the time. I was wondering whether or not MOST can have LESS-alike keybindings. Googling around, having no answer, I decided to download MOST source-code to dig into it. But to my surprise, MOST did the thing, allowing LESS keybindings customization through configuration file. Great !!! Just follow instructions below and you will have colorful manpages with LESS keybindings. 0. You need to install MOST first (depending on your *nix system, I use Ubuntu). 1. Download MOST source code from : ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/most/most-5.0.0.tar.gz 2. tar xvzf most-5.0.0.tar.gz 3. cd most-5.0.0 , you will see file called lesskeys.rc , this is key-emulation for LESS. 4. cp lesskeys.rc ~/.mostrc , restart terminal then you will have MOST with LESS keybindings ready !
