I don't remember anyone claiming that Cygwin had rewritten the Windows
OS.

Unfortunately there isn't much that we could do to fix this problem that
wouldn't be classified under the category "kludge".  We might be able to
work around this on NT but, in general, if Windows wants to treat a file
specially then there is little cygwin can do to stop it.
