The System account is also the owner of the files, so you can't even view the permissions without first taking ownership of them.

No other account is listed as having access, not even Administrators. The security on those log files is System/Full Control, meaning the System account, which is the highest level account on your computer even above Administrator, has full control to the files. It just means you have the ability to change the security or take ownership of every file or folder, and that's what you would need to do. Being an admin also doesn't automatically grant you access to every file and folder on your computer. everything after is demanding admin authorization, even though I am the admin.īeing an administrator means nothing if the security on a file doesn't grant access to administrators.
