    I've asked this before, but I still can't figure out what is going on.
    Basically, I have a Windows Service that I'm trying to lock down. Just as
    an experiment, I tried to apply the following attributes:
    [assembly:AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()]

    [assembly:FileDialogPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestRefuse,
    Unrestricted = true)]

    While that has no adverse affects on a console app, I get a
    SecurityException in my service. When I set Unrestricted to false, it works
    fine, but I can't fathom why. My service definitely does not use file
    dialogs, so the thing shouldn't have a problem. Could someone explain to me
    why services don't like unrestricted permissions (every one I've tried has
    this problem)? Also, if I set it to false for this permission, what exactly
    does that mean?
