The opposite is true.  The Windows filesystem has direct support for 
fine-grained access control lists that provide very good support for 
restricting many types of access to users and groups.  It's a system 
that's actually considerable more powerful -- and subtle -- that POSIX 
permissions and, as far as I'm aware, LiveCode doesn't currently support 
accessing or manipulating that data at all.
