My account is part of Domain Admins, which is part of local machines Administrators group.

Such as: MYDOMAIN\Domain Admins, is added to MY-LOCAL-PC\Administrators

I gave FULL CONTROL access to a folder, to MY-LOCAL-PC\Administrators, however I get denied access when I try to open it with my account.

Clearly, I am "recursively" allows access to this folder. What may be the issue?

I didn't consider UAC, as it skipped by mind (as I was file browsing, not trying to launch a process). Of course, I'm running limited so "administrators" isn't part of my user token. When I run something like Notepad "as admin", I can open that folder without an issue.

Simple issue, I just wasn't thinking clearly. Thanks.

The link above pretty much covers this, but this question seems to make it much more clear that it's just not convenient to run Explorer as an Administrator as of Windows 7.

However, there was an answer without much attention that expands on what you said about using Notepad running as Administrator as a mini-explorer. I tested it out quickly, and I could cut&paste a file from a protected directory to somewhere else. I thought it was a pretty slick workaround.
