Description
I tried to add C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_ to the z index by doing cd C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_classic_ without admin rights.
But the directory doesn't show up in z -l and i can't jump into it with z classic.
When i do the same as administrator it works.
Interestingly C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft works without admin privileges.
I don't understand why z would need admin privileges for this?
Is there any way around it?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the behavior on Windows with the reported C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft paths, using cd, z -l, and z classic without administrator rights, then compare it with an administrator session. Done means the nested path can be added and reached without elevated privileges, or the permission limitation is clearly documented.
