This works correctly on my system, because dired invokes ls with the
"--dired" option (a feature of GNU ls, which causes ls to output extra
information about where the names are located).
The variable `dired-use-ls-dired' controls whether dired does this or
not. So to fix this problem, try installing GNU ls (I guess that means
cygwin, as you're on ms-windows?) and setting dired-use-ls-dired to t.
