If you used Sysprep utility to clone to many PCs the problem is missing
right for System account in / and below, see
<http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin/2010-01/msg00485.html>
I have solved the problem by adding rights with the command
cacls "C:\Program Files\cygwin" /T /E /G SYSTEM:F
before running sysprep. After that minisetup (running under System
account) can correct old SID in ACLs also in cygwin directories and
question marks disappear.

Hi Pavel,
I don't think that I understood anything you said. I've never run
something called "Sysprep" (whatever that is). Are you suggesting
that I need to run "cacls ..."? What exactly will that do?
