If the "NTFS" file system option was selected for the boot partition during an Assisted Path installation of Windows NT 4.0 using SmartStart Release 3.10, 3.20, or 3.21, the Access Control List entries were not set correctly for operating system files, giving all users access to important files. Only the "Administrators" group should have write and change permission on these files. Note that any files added after the operating system installation, for example, new driver files, will not have the Access Control List entries modified. The system administrator should manually change the security settings for any files installed after the initial operating system installation. HOW TO USE: 1.
