mkdir: This folder is shared with other people


Tested on Windows 7

1. Create a Homegroup
2. cd C:/Users

Now, if you run a command like this

    mkdir C:/Users/foo

all is well. However if you run a command such as this

    mkdir foo

"foo" then has strange permissions. If you try to delete using Window Explorer,
you get this message

    This folder is shared with other people
    Folder: C:\Users\foo
    Share Name: foo

This behavior feels wrong because both cmd.exe and PowerShell do not do this.
