transcriptA meme using characters from SpongeBob. Man Ray holds a card labeled "My Computer" and says, "I'm an admin, right?" Patrick replies, "Yup." Man Ray continues, "And this file is admin locked." Patrick says, "Yup." Man Ray says, "I have admin access. And if that's the case, I can access this file." Patrick replies, "That makes sense to me." Man Ray says, "So let me access it." Patrick responds, "You need admin access."

On Windows this is when I become NT authority\SYSTEM...and then proceed to break something, like the time I did that and completely and utterly borked Microsoft Store and everything connected to it (like calculator)

Theres a github script that fixes everything back to normal now, so its safer to change permissions now.

Windows has 2 Types of admin, admin and „system“

System is like root, admin is just userspace

And now guess which one Windows uses and which the user can only use
