Access Denied When Connecting to Administrative Shares in Windows 7

To remote access administrative shares in windows 7 by a target local administrator with a correct password, no matter specifying target computer name in the login credential dialog, will fail and prompt "access denied". This is due to the "UAC remote restrictions" stated in MS KB article 951916.

To disable this "feature", simple setting the registry value LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy to 1 as follows:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Value: LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy
Data: 1 (to disable, 0 enables filtering)
Type: REG_DWORD (32-bit)
