> THE FACTS: I have "Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service

> settings "CYGWIN = `ntea'" and the disks are NTFS, e.g.:
> e: hd NTFS 70001Mb 13% CP CS UN PA FC DATA

> THE PROBLEM: All is well except that all Windows-created files seem to

> Notepad. All are "executable".

> I have no problem with reading or chaning permissions from inside
> Cygwin. Also files created from Cygwin have reasonable permissions:
> -rw-rw-rw-. It is just file created from Windows applications that are
> always executable.

> Any clues? Thanks!

> PS2: I have used previous versions of cygwin on a number of NTFS-disked
