Re: Re: Help with deleting Cygwin shortcuts

[Ivan Lenev <lenev at spymac dot com>]

I'm pretty sure that I have full access since I'm the only 
user, and I don't see a "Security/Permissions" Tab in the 
properties of any of my files. I'm running WinXP Home, and 
no file sharing.

Have you tried change or looking at the permissions on the 
shortcuts?
