Btw, to further help diagnose, I notice the "read-only" box is shaded 
and checked for the C:\cygwin directory.  I have repeatedly (as 
administrator on the machine) tried to uncheck this box.  The dialog at 
first appears to let me uncheck it, but when I go back into the dialog, 
the "read-only" box is still checked, and shaded.  Some other sentient 
entity is stubbornly controlling permissions on this directory.  You 
would think administrator on the machine can do what he wants, but alas 
no!  -K
