This doesn't happen for me even if I use the Explorer.
There's some other factor at work here. Does this happen with any
file, anywhere on your filesystems? E.g., can you try on a drive
other than C: ?
Also, do you, as the user, own the directory where this file lives, or
is its owner another user?
And what filesystem is that? NTFS or FAT32?
Finally, does this happen in "emacs -Q", or do you need some
customizations for the problem to happen?
Thanks.
