Thanks for answering ;)...
If I on my Windows XP SP III box right click on a folder, "Read-Only" is
listed in the folder's properties.
Maybe I should have mentioned that I use NTFS.

My initial problem is that cygwin hangs if I start the GNU screen untility.
$ ls /tmp/uscreens/
S-Administrator
So my thought was that this socket isn't initialized due permission
problems.
I guess the Windows file attributes aren't the cause of this problem.
I have a fresh install and no .screenrc, that might interfere with the
starting process...
Thanks so far,
wishi
