If you are the only person using your PC, and aren't overly worried about file security, then what you have done is fine. 'Authenticated Users' is just a built-in Windows security group for any users who have successfully logged into the system. If you have multiple logon accounts to your PC that are password protected (different family members etc) then you will have granted all of these other accounts access to the files too.

Hi Steve,
Its a brand new laptop which I have installed my backed-up files from the older WinXp machine.
Everything seems OK with the files copied over, it's just files I have created since, that had the padlock thing.
i.e My ECU map which I have modified a few times in the last week along with the folder that I saved your ECU ROM image too yesterday.
Why, when I am the only user/administrator does it apply these locks ? Surley as Admin it should let me do and see everything.
There are no other accounts on the laptop yet, but if I add a new one will they see all these files.
The files in question are located under c:\Program Files\ and then within the directory tree of their representative application.
