drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators None 0 05-26 16:16 explorer
drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 0 05-26 16:17 make-directory
drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators None 0 05-26 16:17 mkdir_cmd_shell
drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 0 05-26 16:16 mkdir_cygwin_bash
drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 0 05-26 16:17 mkdir_eshell
drwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators None 0 05-26 16:26 mkdir_msys_bash
so Explorer and the CMD shell assigns ownership to Administrators, while
cygwin and Emacs assigns ownership to Administrator. MSYS, which, as you
know, is a fork of cygwin, assigns ownership to Administrators.
Emacs is the fully native one and does not use cygwin's shell nor MSYS
shell.
This is on Windows 2000 Professional SP4.
