Interesting. I have a few things I need Windows for but I only use it 
from a VirtualBox VM, Windows 7 for the last few years, recently 
"upgraded" to Windows 10. Because I have a need to access certain data 
from both the host and the guest, I have one host folder that is 
"shared" with the guest.

So far, Windows has made no moves to change anything but the data I've 
told it to access. Could be the nature of the host/guest relationship 
prevents it, I suppose.
