DESCRIPTION:  Contains the file ACLFIX.EXE, which correctly sets the 
Access Control List entries for operating system files to the default 
values.
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:
