Vista 64 permissions

[Donald_SBC]

When logged on as Administrator or as myself with full admin rights why can't I view the All Users Desktop folder?

My desktop shows the shortcuts that are in the All Users desktop folder.

I am not paranoid but methinks there is a user predefined in Vista that is higher than Administrator.

Are you looking in:

C:\Users\Public\Desktop\

No. That was the problem. Thanks.

Still think there is a secret user predefined, tho.:D

You're welcome.

There is a "secret" admin account. Look here:

I powered up this machine right out of the box and set the Administrator account password. So I can log in as -the- Adminstrator.

Well, there are accounts with Administrator privileges and there is the Administrator Account discussed in the link I provided. They are different. Check out the link....

My Administrator account -is- enabled. When I use it it requests a password. But the net command indicates a password is not required.
