No.  But you didn't describe what you tried to do in enough detail to
understand what could be the problem in your case.  Please add a more
detailed description, including which folders cause the problem.

Also, what is your Windows user? is it, per chance, Administrator?
What does Emacs say about the owner and the group of those problematic
folders?
