SYMPTOMS
If you remove the Everyone group from the root directory permissions of a Windows NT file system (NTFS) formatted partition that contains the PAGEFILE.SYS file, the following error message appears when you log on:
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, add the Everyone group with Full Control permission to the NTFS partition that contains the PAGEFILE.SYS file.
MORE INFORMATION
Microsoft does not recommend removing the Everyone group from the root directory permissions of a Windows NT file system (NTFS) formatted partition. By default, the root directory of a drive is an administrative share in Windows NT. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the Everyone group from the root directory to increase security or prevent certain users on a network to gain access to your root directory.
