Well I've come to the conclusion that WIN 10 does have some 'enhanced
security' in place. What I think is happening is that everything in the
Program Files is 'locked' unless you assign user specific permissions to
everything residing in the folder.

I think Windows has been trying to protect the Program Files directory
to varying degrees since at least Vista. Maybe they ratcheted it up
another notch.
