Hello!
Does anyone know how to run Windows explorer.exe with Cygwin
/bin/newgrp, so all new files created by explorer.exe use that new
primary group, and all programs launched by explorer.exe use that same
primary group?

As I understand it, Explorer always starts unelevated as the current user.
This is by design for security reasons.

But does WinSG elevate the process? I thought it just takes an
existing group from within the token, and sets it as the primary
group.

How can someone run explorer as Admin then?
FYI winsg -c eng4grp -c 'explorer /nouacheck /separate' does not work.
