Good news: My cygwin file tree survived a Windows (10) reinstall Not-so-good news: I have a new SID, so not only do I not own those files any more (that's easily fixed), but I don't have the permissions I should, because they are now held by some miscellaneous old SID.
In fact I see _two_ raw SIDs when I look at the security tab for any directory in the old cygwin tree: one has Full control, and the other just Read & execute. I presume the first is the old me, what's the second? Can this be easily fixed, i.e. put me back where I used to be? Thanks, ht [Note, I have read http://superuser.com/questions/439675/how-to-bind-old-users-sid-to-new-user-to-remain-ntfs-file-ownership-and-permiss which was the only thing I could find by searching, but I wondered if there was a Cygwin way. . .] -- Henry S.
