I don't know about more recent versions of Windows, but it is
standard on XP for the Users group to have the "Create Folders"
special permission on the root directory, and Creator Owner has
"Full Control" (so any user can create a subdirectory, and then
has full control of it). Users cannot create files in the root
directory.
