Is there a short answer, one that does not require understanding how it 
all works?  One thing I like about Cygwin is that I don't have to learn 
anything about Windows.  So far I've always been able to get rid of 
intractable Windows files using Cygwin with chmod 777 and chown, but 
this seems to be an example where that won't work.
