So, How do I ungum this shortcut?  I searched for files '*txt1*' 
on my computer but found no matches.  A colleague doesn't have this
problem but does use IE.  He installed cygwin 'for all users' 
because he has admin privilege on his own PC whereas because
I do not have this privilege, I had to install cygwin 'for me only'.
Could this be related to the problem?

Thanks for any support.
