The set of auditing rules defined on a file, folder or other types of secured objects that support auditing. In case of files and folders stored on an NTFS disk, DACL is the set of NTFS permissions that says which user accounts or groups have which permissions. The set of permissions on a given file, folder, registry key, network share or any other types of secured object in Windows. Since the subject of NTFS security is one that requires intermediate knowledge of Windows, I will skip elementary details such as how to run a certain program with elevated privileges. It can be accomplished with the following utilities: Basic NTFS permission of “Program Files” folder in Windows 7 Let’s assume you have created a folder called “Programs” in your D: volume and now you want its NTFS permissions to match that of “C:\Program Files”, thus having the same level of security. Therefore, I believe an update, even a minor one, is due.
