Windows (on NTFS) does have local folder permissions based on ACLs - who has
what access to what, which can be specified on a per user or per group basis. 
These permissions work very differently to *NIX permissions, and it is possible
to deny the Administrator user access (theough they are able to take ownership
of the whole tree).

Local users need to have appropriate permissions to read or write files. 
Remote (network) users need to have both local file permission AND network
share permissions to access files on the system sharing them.
