I wonder how much effort is to locate that piece of code in the Windows
sources...


that always seems to be issue / stumbling block ;-(

You can define NTFS ACLs in the security policy but that applies to
drive letters and not to removable storage. The default permissions for
any drive would be Admins+system+creator owner = full control, users =
RWX (subsequently full control over new directories and files), anyone =
RX.

Most removable media has FAT32 file system where there's no file
security. The best approach is to assign permissions after converting to
NTFS.


Yes, but as to just where the default NTFS perms are stored, at first
I suspected it would be a registry blob, which I did not however locate.
The component for making partitions seems to have a reference to a
file with db in its extension (?) . . . Seems like this is one where you
have to just bit the bullet and sit down to read some code to find out.
