I cannot use the -OLD one, this makes explorer.exe freak out.
Not very surprising IMO. I guess that it is a pre-SP1 version, or a IE5.0
version maybe - I have IE6 installed.

Trying the two 6.00 versions doesn't make any difference.

A guess could be that cygpath's behaviour depends in IE6 beeing installed or
not.

To see the version of an Windows object: e.g.
Start -> Run -> "F:\WINNT\system32", Right click "shlwapi.dll"
choose -> Properties -> Version tab -> Product version
