A driver to make windows Ignore ACLs

I wanted today to weasel around in my C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder,
unfortunately that is more difficult than one may think like described here: https://superuser.com/questions/940693/editing-creating-files-in-c-program-files-windowsapps
One can try messing with permissions but that may result in problems down the road.
And it does not solve all issues anyways.

So I was looking for a more "safe" solution like making windows temporarily ignore all permission settings

After some research I found this approach and created an open source implementation: https://github.com/DavidXanatos/IgnoreACLs

When applied to C: anyone can access C:\Program Files\WindowsApps for reading modifying, and deleting existing files.
What does not work is creating new files or folders, for that i would have to modify the SecurityContext in some smart way.
