How to get the IdentityReference for “Everyone” to

问题:

I'd like to use the code as in this question or this question to create a system wide Mutex.
This works fine on most systems, but on a German XP installation I get the error that "Some or all identity references could not be translated". The problem is that the group "Everyone" is called "Alle" on this system.

So how do I get the correct IdentityReference to create a MutexAccessRule for "Everone" or "Users" on all systems independent of the OS language?

Just found the solution by continuing searching. See the answer to this question here:

new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null)

This can be used rather than "Everyone".

Can someone mark this question here as duplicate if found correct?
