Weirdly, this does not seem to be correct. It appears the file
permissions don't matter. From that Superuser question I alluded to
earlier:
"Because file permissions don't matter, it is an operating system
protected area. You need to copy out and back in, and OK the UAC prompt.
If you have disabled UAC then re-enable it."

So at least one Windows maven seems to think that the effective
permissions don't matter. I think that's very odd, but it appears to be
true.

Well, on my machine (Windows 10 Home 64-bit) I don't have write
access to the directory of the file, but Admin does.
I assume you've looked at the effective permissions part of the file
properties to check.
