may be you have deactivated the UAC as morgan suggested?

I see. Indeed, the access right on the \cygwin\c was 000, then I did a 
chmod u+rwx on this folder,
but of course, vista is not aware of that and I suppose that NTFS still 
consider that c has no right,
thus any folder and file created in c:.
However, I have no idea how to manage those rights on vista.
Do you know any reasonable documentation on those access rights on vista.
Also, how are mapped the vista rights to the cygwin rights?


Thanks,
Arnaud.
