I'm not sure what OS he's talking about, but I can attest that these are NOT
the default permissions set on either Windows XP Professional or Windows
2000 Server. On my XP Pro machine WINNT is writeable by Power Users and
Administrators, while normal users have only read and execute access.
Similarly, on a Win2K server I just checked out, Server Operators and
Administrators have write access, but again normal users can only read and
execute.
