Everyone having the "Restore Files Permission" can undermine system security because he can not only replace any system 
file disregarding permissions but also replace permissions on any file.
Therefore Microsoft recommends granting this privilege only to trusted individues.
We'd better face the fact that Windows hasn't been designed to be a secure system and will therefore never be.
