You don't have full rights as user/admin in some situations like on the C:\Programs Files or C:\Windows folder with UAC enabled or disabled, and I suspect some other folders that are *protected* from you.

I also suspect in some situation in dealing with the registry, it is protecting itself too.

You don't even have full rights as admin if you're using that hidden admin account on Vista too.

Vista is protecting itself from *you*. :-P

Eh?

Looks like he is referring to Windows restricting access to certain parts of the system to the Trusted Installer user. Old news, and of course you can take ownership as an administrator so you have control either way, if not explicit permissions out of the box.


No that is NOT what I am talking about.
