New description:

 There is a Windows mechanism to lock down access to applications, called
 AppLocker, and Tor Browser is not compatible with some ways of managing
 access. We need to think about what kind of rule compatibility we want to
 support:

 There are

 publisher based rules
 path based rules
 filehash based rules

 and

 default rules one can choose
