Recently I got some Adobe errors due to missing "Everyone" rights in "AllUsers" folder.
Is a good practice to set "AllUsers" with read,list,execute for that group? Or could this generate security issues?

Yes, the everyone group should have access to that folder. The default permissions should propogate to allow that group to read from that folder already. Typically, write access should also be allowed for owned objects. Here is how my folder is set up:

Administrators and SYSTEM have Full Control
Power Users has everything except Full Control, and Special: Change Permissions and Take Ownership.
Everyone and Users have Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read

I currently have Administrators, System, Me at "Full Control" and Users with "read,list,execute".
I'll add "Everyone" with "read,list,execute" too then.
Thanks

p.s: one time "Creator Owner" gave me access problems, so I completely removed it on install now.
