Unfortunately, it's the whole PC, which is also the reason why I have to use this terrible webmailer, sorry. And I don't see any edit button or anything else obvious. If I click on Properties of a file, I get three tabs: General, Security, Summary. On the Security tab I see from top to bottom a box labeled "Group or user names:", underneath two buttons "Add..." "Remove" then a box labeled "Permissions for <as selected in 'Group or user names' box> Allow Deny" with list of permissions and an Advanced button. At the very bottom OK/Cancel/Apply If I then select "Advanced" I get a window with three tabs: Permissions, Owner, Effective Permissons The contents of the Owner tab is what I see in column #3 of ls -l I can't find anything that corresponds to column #4 of ls -l The Permission tab has buttons Add..., Edit..., Remove but those only open more or less complex windows to set permissions. What am I missing? I appreciate your answers and sorry for this not entirely Cygwin related question. > >P.S. >I would also appreciate, if you teach your mail agent to insert proper >threading headers into list replies.
