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.
