Hidden Administrator Account doesn't have root access?
I enabled the hidden administrator account so I could have access to all the files and folders that my normal admin account can't get into. However, after logging into the account I'm still getting access denied errors from the folders that I can't get into as a normal user. Isn't the hidden administrator account supposed to have access to everything? It seems to be acting like a normal administrator account.
Some background: I originally had the Windows 7 RC on my computer and the hidden administrator account seemed to be able to access everything. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional OEM and have been trying to get this functionality back. I don't plan on using it often, but there are a couple restricted folders I need access to and I don't like the idea of not having full control of my computer if I need it.
Any help would be appreciated!
