    SetACL is capable of listing the permissions of C:\Windows\Temp without first changing them. I retrieved the default permissions with the command setacl -on c:\Windows\Temp -ot file -actn list on a freshly installed system and verified on my system:

    DACL(protected+auto_inherited):
Users           FILE_ADD_FILE+FILE_ADD_SUBDIRECTORY+FILE_TRAVERSE   allow   container_inherit
Administrators  full   allow   no_inheritance
Administrators  full   allow   container_inherit+object_inherit+inherit_only
SYSTEM          full   allow   no_inheritance
SYSTEM          full   allow   container_inherit+object_inherit+inherit_only
CREATOR-OWNER   full   allow   container_inherit+object_inherit+inherit_only

    If you prefer a GUI application, SetACL Studio can list permissions from every part of the system without first changing them like Explorer. This is what C:\Windows\Temp looks like in SetACL Studio:
