Accessing all Folders using Limited User Account

$

My operating system is Windows 7 with 4 user accounts. Only of those accounts is an administrator. When using the administrator account, I have no problem accessing directories within the other limited profiles (e.g. Limited Account A's Documents or Limited Account B's Pictures). However, if I am doing some work on either of the 3 limited user accounts and need to access files from another user account, it gives me the following message:

Quote:

You don't currently have permission to access this folder. Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder.
I know how to edit the folder ownership but that's not what I want to do otherwise the limited account user will always have access to that folder. I would like to make it so that when I'm troubleshooting something on the limited accounts, I can just enter my administrator account password to gain temporary access to the file or folder. I used to be able to do this a long time ago many reformats ago when I had Vista. I just remembered it and thought that it would help me out a lot.

anyone know how to do this?
