CACLS shows an extensive set of permissions for the power user owner,

(yet) about a special privilege that allows administrators the level
of access that it seems to have. In fact, if I just open up a DOS
shell as Administrator, I cannot "more" the said file. So it seems to
be specific to Cygwin rather than Windows.
Um: <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00218.html>
This is the relevant part:
Cygwin uses this to simulate the unix semantics of "root" (i.e. total
access to anything regardless of permissions)
Thanks for reiterating, Brian.
Oh, I should have mentioned that Diskeeper probably uses the privilege since it
managed to defrag the files that the built-in defragger, JkDefrag, and Ultra
Defragmenter could not.
