Everyone Group

We have many folders that have the Everyone group with file permissions to particular folders.  All of our users are in the DOMAIN USERS group .... and they have access to these folders explicitly.  My question is that .... if a folder shows that the everyone group has all rights to a folder, does this mean everyone in the our active directory has access to the folder?  Thanks....hope this makes sense.

So I would need to remove it from the security permissions list...correct?  If I don't want all users to have access...

Also, when you remove the Everyone group and add other groups, make sure you add the "System" group to the ACL and grant it Full Control. This will save you troubleshooting steps in the future when you receive errors from programs that need to access files and run as the local system account.
