Minimum File System Access Needed for a Service? Will 12-06-2005

Please log in for more thread options
Has anyone compiled the list of absolute minimum Windows 200x files and
directories that any service *must* have in order to run successfully as a
service? I'm ignoring application specific file access, and I'm more
interested to access for %systemroot% and its subdirectories. If there is
a list compiled somewhere with the absolute minimum permissions required I
would appreciate seeing that article.

I would think that the service needs to read its own EXE file and the
dependencies - use Dependency Walker to find out.
