Just stumbled on this by accident. From a bonafide standard user account, I was able to go to C:\Users\Admin-Acct and open the folder, open the Admin user's document folder and edit documents and I could do this from within a standard user account!
This was never permitted in XP unless you provided Admin User password by Run As Administrator. I'm sure this is not by default in Windows 7 SP1.
I checked both the Admin User folder & standard user folder and it says in properties under sharing= not sharing. Of course the C:\Users folder indicates Sharing which I would expect, I guess.
I'm sure this is not the way it was just a few weeks ago when I first installed Windows 7 SP1. Of course the Admin user account is passworded.
The only different thing I did myself was to simply change ("customize") the C:\User folder icon through folder properties to something I preferred. That's it!
Note: UAC prompts otherwise seem to be working normally in the standard user account.
Anybody have any ideas. I definitely do not want the standard user to be able to simply click on Admin-user folder and have free reign!
THIS IS A NON NETWORKED STANDALONE COMPUTER
EDIT: One more thing. Yes, the Admin Acct folder has the lock icon on it!
