Subject: All Windows-created files seem to have mode -rwxrwxrwx

Sorry is this has been asked 1000 times, but even though there are many 
references to permissions setting in the FAQ and User guide, nohting 
explains the following.

THE FACTS: I have "Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service 
Pack 1" and Cygwin cygwin_1.3.14-1 gotten and installed yesterday, with 
settings "CYGWIN = `ntea'" and the disks are NTFS, e.g.:
    e:  hd  NTFS   70001Mb  13% CP CS UN PA FC     DATA

THE PROBLEM: All is well except that all Windows-created files seem to 
have permissions -rwxrwxrwx. Including text files created by say 
Notepad. All are "executable".

I have no problem with reading or chaning permissions from inside 
Cygwin.  Also files created from Cygwin have reasonable permissions: 
-rw-rw-rw-. It is just file created from Windows applications that are 
always executable.

Any clues? Thanks!

PS: I do not want to bother with 'ntsec' - security is not an issue at 
the moment.
PS2: I have used previous versions of cygwin on a number of NTFS-disked 
machins and never seen this.
