POSIX permissions are not meaningful in Windows. Please run the following two commands in a Python script in order to show the current user and the access-control list on the directory:

    import subprocess
    subprocess.call('whoami.exe')
    subprocess.call(r'icacls.exe "C:\Users\Username\Desktop"')
