So.

I now have this nice new Profile, that I, RUBEN, created, elevated against Administrator, created in the /Users/Administrator/ directory tree, with none of my ... yada yada yada.

And Administrator owns everything it has created. Though from looking (& I've never understood, & never will understand) <at> Windows permissions, it seems I am at the same permission level as Administrator for these files ...

Thinking that shouldn't be so bad?

So I go to open /Users/Administrator/ so that I can drill down to the newly created (empty & meaningless) files ... But I can't!? I'm not able to access /Users/Administrator/, even though I (as RUBEN) created them (though not that I wanted to), elevated, in the context of, & as, Administrator.

So.

So to even get to see that the files, yada yada yada, I need to elevate. And I elevate against Administrator & now I can get in & see my files, yada yada yada.

All fine & dandy? Not IMO.
