On that last part, theres a difference between elevating a file to admin, and being an admin in Windows.
In a lot of cases the ui is GREATLY simplified when not an admin, to the point where you might only have like 20% of all available options.
For the standard user? Great! Not when you're messing around with permissions.
It's why you ALWAYS log in as Admin when setting up a windows server. Iirc you can't even install tiles without actually being an admin, even if you have all logins.
From my experience with windows, your current guess is correct btw :D
