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.
