You would need to look at permissions in the security tab of the properties
of the file. If you see no security tab then you will have to disable simple
file sharing by opening Windows Explorer and then selecting tools/folder
options/view - use simple file sharing that you would want to uncheck. The
link below explains more on how to configure NTFS permissions in Windows
