Folders that I create with Cygwin using mkdir appear to be shared - sort of. They are denoted with the shared folder icon, and when I use Windows Explorer to delete them I get the warning about the folder being shared.

When you say "mkdir", what exactly do you mean? /usr/bin/mkdir? If so, what does this question have to do with Python? Python's os.mkdir? If so, which version of Python are you using?

What version of Windows are you running? For what it's worth, I just tried both of the above on my XP/Cygwin system and did not see the shared folder icon in Explorer.
