Hello Corinna and thanks for your reply.
These files have been created over the course of a number of years and I 
don't remember having to do anything with the permissions before, to 
able to edit, copy, move etc. When I format my computer and install 
cygwin fresh I will have these files (my programming projects) ready on 
a DVD. Quite recently, however, I moved from XP to Vista and some of 
these projects haven't been touched since I used XP (like the one I've 
been asking about in this thread). Do you think that is the problem, me 
moving from XP to Vista and using files I in some cases created several 
years ago? The permissions got screwed in the transition from XP to Vista?
Also, what should I do to have proper permissions on these (text files)? 
I'm talking Makefiles and source files for a number of languages.
