        At minimum you should delete everyone group and add authenticated
users. Then to tighten things up consider giving authenticated users only
read/list execute. DO NOT configure changes to propagate down to other
folders such as program files or especially system - just apply to the root
folder. Also add administrators as full control to root folder. Then you can
configure ntfs on new folders created as needs dictate, but at least they
will start out with a fairly secure setting. I believe that Windows 2003 has
root folder ntfs permissions as I just described as default. -- Steve
