Right. Because you're the owner of the folder and therefore have explicit rights to it which trumps your (UAC removed) indirect rights granted by virtue of being in the administrators group. But, from an elevated command prompt, UAC has already be responded to so everything works peachily.

Is this something with UAC? Or otherwise? Please advise, I have even tried to re acl the drive with cacls d: /T /E /C /G administrators:F and still didn't work. Kinda of time sensitive, Z Edward E.
