How can I mirror permissions of the built-in Windows Administrator account to my own?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I've been a Windows user for 20 years, and know what I'm installing/changing - I don't need to be warned each time I want to modify a system file, or have to remember to run executables as administrator each and every time.
Rather than enable the built-in Administrator account, is there any way to mirror the permissions of this account to my single "admin" account so that all apps on my machine are launched with admin permissions? I don't want to have to choose this account on the login screen each time - I just want a single account on my machine. As outlined above - I realise that not everybody will agree to this approach due to the potential security issues involved, but this is not a concern for me.
Thanks.

Since Microsoft also doesn't agree with your approach, some of the settings are hardcoded to the SID of the Administrator account.
