Ok, let me rephrase it - are you trying these commands in an elevated shell? (i.e. mintty running as administrator.) > In the meantime I find fsutil.exe and tried: C:\>> cd \Users\meyer C:\>> fsutil Cookies > Error: Access is denied. > But than I tried: C:\>> mklink /J test C:\Users\meyer\AppData\Roaming\....\Cookies C:\>> fsutil test > and this will work. I get my reparse data :) > I will see if I can reuse this data with setfattr. > br > Matthias -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdae...@yandex.ru) 14.09.2013, <01:51> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
