As a side point: It is important to understand that "logging on using
an account that's a member of the Administrators group" is not the
same as "running elevated" when UAC (User Account Control) is enabled.
(It is not recommended to disable UAC.)
If you don't launch your Cygwin shell using the "Run as administrator"
option, the Administrator group is not enabled in the process token,
and thus actually does not have administrator permissions. (Using the
"Run as administrator" option is often referred to as "running
elevated.")
