I have a lot of questions and I cannot see the right place with the answers.
So, how can I solve them easily, at a beginner level?. What about not wrong, but non-existing answers ?.

I should have looked in the FAQ before, it would have saved some typing. I have had exactly the same issue before and perhaps didn't find the answer at that time. People who come from a UNIX background tend to use chown or chmod but may have already deleted chown.exe and chmod.exe. Perhaps adding the exact cacls invocation in the FAQ would be helpful I do not think that an external wiki would be a good idea, as the developers already have to face numerous questions arising from outdated documentation. The most common source of questions on the cygwin mailing list was at a time SSH (mis-)configuration. Users followed wrong directions and did not run ssh-host-config but tried to setup everything by hand. And when MS reduced the privileges of the SYSTEM account for XP, everything broke.
