%windir%\Temp: Full Control
b) Application folder: Read
c) %installroot% hierarchy (for example, %windir%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\Version): Read
d) %windir%\Assembly: Read
e) Web site root (for example, %root%\Inetpub\Wwwroot) or the path that the default Web site points to: Read
f) %windir%\System32: Read(Typically, the ASPNET account has already been granted user rights as a member of the Users group.)
