FYI, actually, when the UAC is ON, and Win-Test has not the appropriate 
permissions, this place is

C:\Users\*YourUserName*\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramData\Win-Test\etc.

It's called UAC File System virtualization.

And, as Bob pointed out, in all cases, the best way is to "Run as 
Administrator" Win-Test.
