The Windows file permission ecosystem makes my head hurt, so I'm going 
to avoid answering your exact question, but I would point out that 
Admin1 can change the ACL to give Admin2 the right to change the ACL.  
In the file permission dialog, that's the "Change permissions" right.  
In code, it's the "WRITE_DAC" file permission.
