At least that's what many of the apps installed with.
@ /c/Program Files/DVD Maker
$ icacls DVDMaker.exe | iconv -f cp866
DVDMaker.exe NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller:(F)
BUILTIN\Administrators:(RX)
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(RX)
BUILTIN\Users:(RX)
Not all, though.
@ /c/Program Files/Opera
$ icacls.exe opera.exe | iconv -f cp866
opera.exe NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(F)
BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(F)
BUILTIN\Users:(I)(RX)

It's interested to know, what these complaints were about exactly. I was away
from the list, when transition to 1.7 occured.
