I usually treat this as a second password field so my answer is always 123456. Works for my luggage too.

RE: Vista security message

I may be wrong, but I think what it is, is that you can take ownership of the object, then change permissions to give yourself permission.
But, you can't see who is the current owner, or give the ownership back to them.
So, you CAN get access - eg because you're the administrator of the system, but you have to decide whether you should - because who ever is the current object owner will be able to tell what you've done.
Eg, 'fred' used to be a user on your network, and had restricted access to all his files to himself. Windows allows this, rightly IMHO. Even administrators can't see the files. (If 'fred' was a lawyer or HR or whatever this might be appropriate).
But, then, 'fred' leaves the company - you have to be able to delete the files somehow - so this gives you that facility. But, you can't hide the fact that you've done something to the permissions as you'll now be the owner, and people can only 'take' ownership, not 'give' it back.The real WTF is that message in the dialog is confusing. It should say "You don't have permissions to view Properties on the file" and have a Change Permissions button.

For the want of punctuation:
Display "toggle view links" more visibly.
Similarly, "I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse" means something quite different when you remove the commas.
I help my uncle Jack off horses all the time. He usually needs help with big horses. What's wrong with that?

catch(Exception e)

}Nicely done. You win.
No no. Exceptions are exceptional cases. DiaperException, HungryException, and PlayfulException are almost expected when calling baby.sleep(). Maybe you should consider an asynchronous event manager.
