Re: Tab completion of exes - what am I doing wrong?

My WAG is that your permissions for /bin are something like the
following:

   $ ls -ld /bin
   drwx------    3 Administ None       212992 Sep  5 13:07 /bin

Am I correct?  If so, then when setup.exe creates a file under /bin,
Windows is causing it to inherit its parent directory's permissions.

BTW, I helped someone on pgsql-cygwin@postgresql.org with a different
symptom but the same root cause.

And again, thank you to you and all that offer help on this list. And sorry about the off-list - didn't realize I'd done that.
