That will work, but making wholesale changes to ACLs on OS binaries is
generally not a very good idea. See KB 885409
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/885409) for more details. I've seen
customers destroy tens of thousands of systems that way.

Pin-point ACL changes on specific files is usually fine though, as long as
you realize the risk you are creating by doing so.

Good idea in general.
