All Windows-created files seem to have mode -rwxrwxrwx

Sorry is this has been asked 1000 times, but even though there are many
references to permissions setting in the FAQ and User guide, nohting
explains the following.
THE FACTS: I have "Windows XP Professional Ver 5.1 Build 2600 Service
Pack 1" and Cygwin cygwin_1.3.14-1 gotten and installed yesterday, with
settings "CYGWIN = `ntea'" and the disks are NTFS, e.g.:
e: hd NTFS 70001Mb 13% CP CS UN PA FC DATA
THE PROBLEM: All is well except that all Windows-created files seem to
have permissions -rwxrwxrwx. Including text files created by say
Notepad. All are "executable".
I have no problem with reading or chaning permissions from inside
Cygwin. Also files created from Cygwin have reasonable permissions:
-rw-rw-rw-. It is just file created from Windows applications that are
always executable.
Any clues? Thanks!
PS: I do not want to bother with 'ntsec' - security is not an issue at
the moment.
PS2: I have used previous versions of cygwin on a number of NTFS-disked
machins and never seen this.
