If an app depends on ACL semantics for data storage and retrieval this could also be dangerous. Could the driver inspect the process is cmd.exe or explorer.exe or anything from a whitelist? Also registry permissions are equally annoying and it would be nice to have those temporarily disabled as well.

Messing with security permissions is not so bad if you meticulously restore them when finished which is a laborious task. Sysinternals has a run as utility that can let you launch a command prompt as SYSTEM and so far that has been a favorite solution and typically but not always SYSTEM has full permissions across the whole drive. Can even launch regedit from that command prompt.
