The actual physical file folder of the DFS root has "Everyone" with full control.  This is how it was by default which has led to a small amount of garbage files being placed there by uneducated users. 
 
1) Can I change the NTFS perms on the root? If so, how or can you point me to a KB, google isn't turning anything up so far.
2) There are a few files in the 30 or so that are there that might potentially be system created.  Is it safe to delete any files (not folders) in the DFS root or are there some system files there.  Any known listing of them I can compare against?
    E.g. 121202b.HAF (142MB)
            DFSLinknamePOSB1CHK1PM.txt (41KB)
            DFSLinknamePOSB1CHK2PM.txt (31KB)
            AcTpCatalog.atc (1kb)
 
The others are .xls, .doc, etc that are obviously user created.
