    When XP released there were a number of MS writeups
    on changes in basic design points, including the default
    NTFS permissions on the installation drive. In fact, that
    particular one was documented well in advance of the XP
    release date and shopped widely to software vendors so
    they would have time to adjust.
    You may still be able to turn this doc's up somewhere in
    the XP section of the MS website.

    The best documentation however for that specific matter
    is the filesystem NTFS security setting dialog, looking at
    the root of the drive (c:\).
