First of all, why would you want to use the Admin user for working on
files? That should be done only as a limited user. Most likely, any files
created as the admin user will have its permissions set so that only the
admin user can change them. That is the purpose of the admin user in the
first place.
Suggestion: stop using the admin user for anything other than modifying
system files when necessary.
