It is a little bit thick to go into but perhaps this might be of help.
It is my understanding that you should never sign in as an administrator. If
you meant that by using the word "admin" then it might be a problem. All
sign ins must be made by ordinary users, HOWEVER.
Some users who you consider worthy get a chance to elevate themselves to act
as administrators when the circumstances warrant. You do it by including
those users in the Group Administrators. Note the plural in here.
Then you go around and give those users permissions to see those folders in
Vista. If there are quite a few of them (users), never mind. Create a
Groups" "My Special Administrators," include those users you consider worthy
into that group and go around giving this group the right to access the
folders with the rights you consider necessary (full control or partial).
However either all of them individually or in aggregate as a group must be
members of the group "Administrators."
