This is not a bug I cross checked it several times..& I have come to believe this was meant to be the default way UAC would behave in 'Users' folder. Here's the scenario - When a user (A) tries to access another users (B) location - The UAC screen prompts and upon authentication what really happens in the background is that user 'A' is added and granted permanent access and permissions to 'B' location..even after a restart!!. I am not sure why UAC was implements this rule for Users folder - the same behavior however does not apply to Program Files or Windows location? Any ideas why UAC would add and auto assign permission? wouldnt this actually make the system less secure. C# Fan! ananda84(at)gmail(dot)com

This is by design, please look at this blog post for a thorough look at this. http://www.theexperienceblog.com/2010/09/18/case-of-the-mysterious-issues-in-windows-7-and-windows-server-2008-r2/Blogging about Windows for IT pros at www.theexperienceblog.com

I also disklike this design seriously, especially this makes it impossible, to use UAC on a Windows 2008 R2 server. Best greetings from Germany Olaf
