Without knowing for sure, I'm going to guess that you're running on
64-bit Windows.  If that's the case, what you're seeing is not Cygwin-
specific.  It's the Windows file system redirector that keeps 32-bit
programs from accessing the ones in "System32" (oh the irony!)  If you
really want to do this, try looking down the c:\Windows\sysnative subtree
instead.
