Tim Golden added the comment: Essentially: no. The permissions system in Windows is very different from that of Unix. The CRT attempts to mimic it, but for things like read-onlyness, it does so by setting the (old-style DOS) attributes. These are only just meaningful for files, and are meaningless for directories. (Or, strictly, have a different meaning since ISTR the Explorer shell uses the readonly bit to indicate that a directory has some special significance).
