Ouch! Where did you get that information? SYSTEM is exactly
_the_ privileged user account which has all rights neccessary
for an operating system. It's the real "root" account for NT
in contrast to the Administrators which are not allowed to do
everything (e.g. user context switches).
The only restriction SYSTEM suffers from is, it has no access
to network shares which require authentication... which makes
sense.
