Explanation:
The Setup security.inf template is created during installation, and it is specific for each computer. It varies from computer to computer, based on whether the installation was a clean installation or an upgrade. Setup security.inf represents the default security settings that are applied during the installation of the operating system, including the file permissions for the root of the system drive. It can be used on servers and client computers; it cannot be applied to domain controllers. You can apply portions of this template for disaster recovery purposes. The Setup security.inf template should only be applied to the local computer through Secedit or Security Configuration and Analysis.
Never edit the Setup security.inf template, since it gives you the option to reapply the default security settings.
