Thanks for the clarifications. I can't use cacls on them as it comes back saying the parameter is incorrect. I should note that cacls is depreciated on Vista and Windows 7 so icacls should be used instead where available. The command lines are different but they do the same thing. $ icacls Maildir Maildir No permissions are set. All users have full control. Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files That part explains it. Webdrive has an option to enable NTFS Security which makes them full access to pretty much any program. I can see the actual permissions through the programs panel. Just wondering why it doesn't put anything realistic on the files themselves. Oh well. This isn't a cygwin issue anyways.
