Grant access to user folder in backup image
I created a backup of my old computer before it died for good using AOMEI Backupper.
Now, when I browse the backup on my new computer, still using AOMEI, I have no problem untill I try to open c\users\[username on the old computer]
I'm told "Access denied".
But, if I use Total Commander, I can access this folder.
I'd like to know if there is any setting I can change that would allow me to browse all folders of the backup with the standard Windows Explorer.
Both my users on the old and new computers are administrators.
They have different names.
Thanks

It makes even less sense when I use Total Commander: I get a warning that says "Access denied", but I just need to click "As Administrator" and I can access the folder, so, it doesn't create any additional security.
Is there any setting I can change in Windows to make my admin user be considered as such, even when using Windows Explorer?
Other software, even Microsofts, works just fine, sometimes Administrator rights are needed.
