I think it has more to do with Windows believing that if this folder is to be your Home folder, then only you should have access to it, and changing the permissions accordingly. A case of MS knows best ;-)
It is better, IMHO, to setup the UV.LOGINS record for your users than use the windows profile to manage this. More control and less grief.
