Comment (by anonymous):

 IMHO the right solution is to grant unrestricted access to IPC objects:

 {{{
 using namespace boost::interprocess;
 permissions unrestricted;
 unrestricted.set_unrestricted();
 named_mutex mutex(open_or_create, "abc", unrestricted);
 scoped_lock< named_mutex > lock(mutex);
 }}}

 There is only one trouble: IPC files can be unexpectedly locked by someone
 else. When somebody lock the %PROGRAMDATA%\boost_interprocess\abc file the
 code written above will misbehave on mutex constructor. I do not know how
 to check the fact: do we have access to IPC file?
