It's been like that since WinNT 4.0, why is it done I
guess is becouse there is tone of things which local users
have to do in OS folder. They need to launch notepad.exe,
they need to be able to create and delete temporary files,
they need to access registry etc, people from network need
to be able to connect to shares and list files, etc.
You can try to mess with security permissions but you can
end up with non operational machine, you never know what
kind of dependency you might break my changing permissions
on tons of files.
I would not suggest to do that and instead of that limit
what users can see and do on machine using GPOs. They are
very robust.
