When copying / moving via explorer / winfile ACL's are reset to the
default inherited ACL on the target filesystem.

To preserve ACL's, one needs to use scopy / xcopy with /? (I don't
recall the option to preserve ACL's offhand) / a third party product.

It even manages to lose ACL's moving between partitions within a single
machine - expecting it to get cross machine ACL's right via the GUI is
*to much*.
