Newly created admin account does not have access to folder owned by Administrators

[Guest arkheii]

I needed to restrict some directories in my disks to admin-only access,

so I cleared the Users and Authenticated Users permissions to the

folders using the built-in Administrator account. The problem is after

creating a new admin account, the new one does not have access to those

folders even though it is part of the Administrators group, and only the

built-in admin can still access it. Instead, Vista prompts me to acquire

permissions for that account.

 

I reproduced the problem on a test folder, and found out that acquiring

permissions via Vista's prompt gives permissions specific to that

account. It works, but it's messy when I have to add new admin accounts

in the future.

 

How do I modify permissions so that anyone under the Administrators

group immediately has access to such folders?

 

Thanks.
