Windows Integrity Levels for extra security in Windows Vista

Microsoft build in a system called Windows Integrity Controls into Windows Vista which is basically a label for files with that identify its trustworthiness. What makes them interesting is the fact that they override the visible permissions of a file or folder. Six levels of trust can be assigned to files of the same or a lower permission level. Meaning that a normal user is not able to change the integrity level of a file that he has no permission for.
