Files and directories I've created within the Cygwin environment are not
visible by any software that uses Windows Explorer to access the files.

Perhaps my permissions have become screwed up?  For example, the
contents of this directory are visible except for "./BADDIRECTORY",
which cannot be accessed by Windows.  Is there a way to make newly
created directories inherit the group attributes of the parent
directories?  Is that the solution?

I tried 

chown -hR :root ./BADDIRECTORY

but the directory was still invisible.

Any tips or advice would be much appreciated.

Garret.
