This is from ntdll/directory, line 792:

if (!(st.st_mode & (S_IWUSR | S_IWGRP | S_IWOTH)))
    info->FileAttributes |= FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY;

So the readonly flag is set only if nobody (not even the file owner or members 
of the file owner's group) have read privileges. 

So it's not a problem in the shell folders, it's a problem in ntdll. I wonder 
if this is correctly implemented. Should'nt we check if the current user has 
read privileges? Or is this the behaviour that windows shows on an ntfs 
filesystem?
