I have a Windows service that will not run if I have the following line in
my code:
[assembly:FileDialogPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestRefuse,

Unrestricted = true)]

For some reason, I cannot see why the above code would raise a
SecurityException, as I never use a FileDialog. In fact, this behavior
happens for every permission I try it on. Could someone explain to me why
this is the case? As best I can tell, Unrestricted is a problem, but I'm
just not seeing how, though.
