Downside: You yourself cannot modify these files any more.

Not sure what you mean, harrymc. Can you please be more specific? Are you speaking of problems accessing the permissions? As an administrator you are still master over every file on your computer, though Microsoft throws monkey wrenches in the way sometimes. But if you understand how permissions works you can do anything you want. The files are on YOUR computer after all. If you mean that you've removed your own permissions, I worded it badly. I meant that I REMOVED permissions, not added a Deny setting. I should have used the word "Disallow".

Once deny is set, to re-access the permissions one has to first set himself as owner of the files.

Right. DO NOT check a box in the "Deny" column. Rather, UNCHECK "Read & execute" under the Allow column.

Based on my post-Update 3 experience, just changing the permissions on vshub.exe to remove execute access appears to be enough.
