'umount -U -c' and 'umount -c' are the same thing.
If you want to remove something from the system mount table use the
options mentioned in 'umount -h' for manipulating the system mount
table.
However, cygwin defaults to /cygdrive, so even if you remove /cygdrive
settings from the registry, /cygdrive will still work.
It might be possible to mount /cygdrive to something like '/:::' or
something, obfuscating its use.
