And every time I format a new NTFS, the first thing I do before puting any files on it is set the drive root permissions Everyone = Full control + Replace child permissions with inheritable permissions.

Because I absolutely hate being denied access to my own files.

That is absolute madness. I assume you also recursively chmod 777 everything on your Linux systems?

It's incredibly valuable to not allow anything which runs on your machine to immediately read and write anything, even on a single user system.

You can change permissions later...
