Win2000 is wrong. I tried to fool it by running the cacls command at
install time, like this :

cacls c:\Local /t /e /g everyone:F

but unfortunately, the names are localized, it means that on a French
version of w2k I would have to replace 'everyone' by 'tout le monde' !

In  fact  the  situation is  worse.  If  I understand  correctly,  all
generated files under   W2K have  restricted access  to  the user  who
created them. This is really annoying and a solution needs to be found
quickly. So if  you know anybody  who understands this problem, please
let me know.
