folder creation

[jayachandran kamaraj]

i have cygwin installed in my work laptop which runs windows xp 
professional.

i have this weird situation in which if i create a folder in my documents 
using windows tools then i cannot open the folder from cygwin(when i 
logged in using ssh). but i create a folder in the c:\, then i can open 
the folder.
i.e.,
any folder created by windows inside my documents has just d--------- bit 
set.
but the folder created by windows in the root folder c:\
has drwx------ permissions set.
i have to open a cygwin terminal and set the permissions manually if i 
want to open that folder from the ssh terminal.
i think it is a setting that i messed up somewhere. any help will be 
appreciated

thanks
jc
