| Subject: | NTFS default special permissions |

On my Windows 2003 servers we create a data partition and format it with NTFS. The default permissions for Users are Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, and Read. This is what we want. But the Users account also gets the special permissions Create Folders\Append Data and Create Files\Write Data.
From the articles that I have seen on TechNet, the special permissions are not needed if we only want read access. So why are they there by default? What purpose do they serve? If we remove the special permissions will it cause problems?
The only thing that I could think of is that maybe it is needed to create a temporary file when you open a document for reading.
