Correction - it doesn't try to do anything with the permissions as
stated in the tarball.  At startup it does try to set a DACL in the
process token that contains Everyone:full.  However, as I understand it,
the DACL only applies to files created in situations where they would
not otherwise inherit an ACL, so if the Vista default for C:\ contains
inheritable settings (as I would imagine it has to) then this wouldn't
apply.
