To remove the rights for users to create folders in the root of the C: drive, you can use the following command in a batch script:
icacls C:\ /remove:g *S-1-5-11
If you need to revert this change and grant users the rights to create folders in the root of the C: drive again, you can use the following commands in a batch script:
icacls C:\ /grant *S-1-5-11:(AD)
icacls C:\ /grant *S-1-5-11:(OI)(CI)(IO)M

Wouldn’t restricting Folder Creation in C: Drive Root interfere with the proper operation of some software?

Hello,
This method aims to limit the locations where user data is stored, making migrations or computer replacements easier.
For standard off-the-shelf applications, this generally does not cause any issues. However, some specific business applications might require particular adjustments.
