Admin shares

1) Since I haveAdmin rights on both computers in a workgroup, why can't I
access the administrative shares? It prompts me for password, which I
provide and rejects. That used to work in previous versions. If I define my
own administrative shares (with $), it works fine.

2) The same issue applies If I attempt to remotely administer a machine. I
have no rights. What has changed with those rights?

3) Also, why do I have to use RunAs admin if I belong to the admins group?
is there anything more powerful in Vista to bypass this?
