Security Settings

Hello,

I've been tasked with creating a kind of system scanner for Windows
XP that checks various security settings (like file access to certain
groups). I've been looking for a way to programatically check these
settings for a month and a half now, but I have had no success. Does
anyone out there know of a way to check security settings using VB.NET?
Thanks.
