What should be the permissions at the root level of W2K and W2K3 Servers?

It is frustrating to me that I can not get a clear answer from Microsoft on what the default permissions should be at the root volume of any of there OS's. After a volume is formatted as NTFS, the everyone group is given full rights. I know this is not good security. What should it be? I have added the Administrator's group and given them full rights and reduce the Everyone Group to Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read. Should this group be removed and replaced with Authenticated Users group, or Users or Domain Users. What is the BEST Practice?

Personally i do what you have done. I do try to eliminate the everyone group.

Do you know of a best practice for this. Would you remove the everyone group and use the Authenticated Users?
