I think the issue is that the OP's windows partition is NTFS, where
writing is still a flaky. (Your example seems to be for a FAT
filesystem)
Therfore its not advisable to allow other users to write. If im not
mistaken also to allow the icons to show you just need to set the
executable bit, rather than write.
