I see what you mean. If file system does not work then you could use a Group
Policy computer startup script using cacls to assign permissions for the
administrators group to folders/files. Startup scripts run in system context
unlike logon scripts. If you try such be SURE to test on a computer first to
make sure you have the syntax correct for cacls. For instance use the /E
switch to add administrators to existing permissions. Cacls has the benefit
of being built in to the OS. For more power and flexibility you may want to
use fileacls, but it will need to be copied to the computers you want to
modify permissions on first first. --- Steve

configure for such.

inheritance modifications and ownership
