I disabled Cygwin IPC Daemon 2 and postmaster. There's no other service
beginning with "cyg". Now when I try deleting the cygwin directory, instead
of the "access is denied" for cygcygipc-2.dll, I get "Cannot delete share,
access is denied," and I still get the "Error applying attributes" pop-up
about C:\cygwin\tmp\cygipc2_2 when I try unclicking read-only.
