The Win32 GetVolumeInformation and GetVolumeInformationByHandle APIs permit applications to query volume attributes such as Case Preserving, Case Insensitive lookups, support for hard links, support for reparse points, support for Unicode and whether or not the volume is read only. The FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME flag when set permits applications such as the Explorer Shell to disable the "Delete" and "Rename" options and prevent copying files into the volume without issuing the request to the file system. Unfortunately, the Windows 7 explorer shell has a bug when a drive letter is mapped to a UNC path. If the mapped path refers to a read only volume, then all volumes accessible via the drive letter are also treated as read only. This bug is fixed in Windows 8 and Server 2012. To improve application compatibility the setting of the FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME flag is disabled by default on Windows 7 and below and enabled on Windows 8 and above.

0: prevent setting the FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME flag. (default on Win7 and below).

1: permit setting the FILE_READ_ONLY_VOLUME flag. (default on Win8 and above)
