Windows locks the folders. When Windows sees a change, it taps BTV on the shoulder and says "I've got something here you may be interested in". That's also why 3rd party programs that move files in and out of those folders, or perhaps try to delete a folder, sometimes have problems or mung up the timestamps on the files. Shutting down BTV will release the locks on the folders.
