Honestly, I don't really remember how file permissions are handled under Windows. There is surely a GUI that you can access via "right click -> property" on the file or something like that. You should verify if the "others" than the file owner can read the file. You could have to check the tree directory, maybe it's a directory that have a restricted permission.
