Windows server 2012 UAC Folder problem

Hi.

There was anoying feature (some call it bug) when Windows 2008 R2 UAC blocks folder acces if You are member of local Administrators group and NTFS ACL is allowing only Adminitrators and other users /groups, but not You. There was possible to avoid this via turning off UAC and rebooting computer.

Now, with Windows server 2012 (RTM, VL) problem is worse. You can turn off UAC (and reboot,i hope it does full reboot) but nothing changes. Still You are prompted

"You don't currently have permissions to access this folder. Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder.   Continue(with Shield mark) Cancel"

And if i click continue, my account is added to folder ACL.  Havent found any way to bypass it.

This is idiotic. If we have multiple admisnitrators every admin SID is added (at some point). And people are coming and leaving - and ACE's remain. And btw - how it is related with "Use groups for granting permissions" best practice ? Only way is to create "File Administrators group" , make administrators member of this group and add this group to ACL. Lot, of lots of pointless work.

Dear MS - how should we resolve it? Any secret policy/registry key, hotfix coming ?
