Christian,

Use "cygstart docFile" instead of "cmd /c docFile" Cygstart doesn't require 
the execute bit on the document file as "cmd /c" does.

I don't know how cygstart works internally, but I imagine it looks up the 
association and launches the appropriate application without regard for the 
execute bits on the document file being opened.
