How to change owners?

[Ragde15]

I have a couple of files in my destop that are not mine however basically i was the one who got/downloaded it. I don't want to have to go to the other accound just to let mine have permission. I want to know if there is a way to change the owner of a file or document.

Only the owner of a file or root can change the ownership on that file. So either switch to that other user, or open a terminal window and "sudo chown {user} {filename}".
