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.
