This causes PuTTY processes spawned from its system-tray menu to run with the -restrict-acl option (or rather, the synonymous &R prefix used by my auto-constructed command lines for easier parsing). The previous behaviour of Pageant was never to pass -restrict-acl to PuTTY, even when started with -restrict-acl itself; this is not actually a silly thing to want to do, because Pageant might well have more need of -restrict-acl than PuTTY (it stores longer-term and more powerful secrets) and conversely PuTTY might have more need to _not_ restrict its ACL than Pageant (in that among the things enabled by an unrestricted ACL are various kinds of accessibility software, which is more useful on the more user-facing PuTTY than on Pageant). But for those who want to lock everything down with every security option possible (even though -restrict-acl is only an ad-hoc precaution and cannot deliver any hard guarantees), this new option should fill in the UI gap. |

PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
The PuTTY home web site is

Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature
requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or
in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
