Re: System partition itself has Everyone/Full Control access permission.

This may be true if the Windows installation is upgraded from a previous
operating system like WinNT. If the system disks on Windows systems are
re-formatted during Windows 2000 setup (i.e. clean-installed
workstations and servers) NTFS permissions will be hardened for the
system partition.
