I have major problems here, I reinstalled my computer, and while doing
this i removed cygwin (except for my home directory) and when i later
reinstalled cygwin its all fubar. I don't have permission to read,
write, execute, delete, rename, flush down the toilet or anything...
on certain files atleast. As I have noticed all the user and group
settings for the files are set to question marks (? that is).
 
 Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or maybe someone has a
similar problem and want to curse together, both works for me.
 
 Thanks
