How to find program permission settings?

How do I check program permissions? I want to make sure some programs
permission settings are "Authenticated Users->Read" only, but where should I
look? I've tried Control Panel->Administrative Services but nothing there
seems appropriate.
Thanks,

Assuming you are using NTFS file system you need to get to the security tab
of the folder/file. In XP Pro you can do that in regular start up if you
have simple file sharing disabled which can be done in Windows
Explorer/tools/folder options/view unchecking the last setting for use
simple file sharing. In XP Home you need to boot into Safe Mode and logon as
an administrator to see the security tab. The link below explains more. ---

I think I found it. Right click on the registry entry and check Restricted
users permissions looks as if it's what I want.
