FWIW: my experience is that when a file is copied from one directory to another on a Windows/NTFS system the file in the target destination will retain attributes such as System, Hidden, and Read Only. The new file will have its Archive bit set and its Create timestamp will be set to when it was created, i.e. the time of copying it.

And on Windpws/NTFS file and directory attributes and permissions are not synonymous.
