Complexity in Microsoft's software does little but hinder people from using their good security features, and the current state of Windows file permissions is a perfect example.

Another problem is the difficulty auditing requested access. You change the permissions and break something, so you go look at the security log to see what you need to do to fix it see an empty log. Oops you forgot to turn on auditing.
