shared folder not write-able for non-root users for special windows folders

Description
I would like to mount the Windows Downloads directory as a shared folder, but the mounted folder is not writable to regular users. Yet the root user can still write to it.
Played all mount options but to no avail: the permissions of all files and sub-folders in the mounted folder are correctly set, and the issue is about the permission bits of the mount point itself. Tried to mount a sub-folder in the Downloads, then the permission bit is correct.
C:\Users\opensrc\Downloads -> Downloads: dr-xr-xr-x
C:\Users\opensrc\Downloads\Sub -> Subfolder: drwxr-xr-x
Wonder why the Downloads folder is treated differently.

May I suggest something? It's usually better and faster, if problems like this one (configuration) get first addressed in the forums (https://forums.virtualbox.org/). More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of.
