No. Your best bet is to stick with the /<driveletter>/<path> alternative, if you don't like the "cygdrive" (or some other prefix). "//" is generally a bad choice for Windows anyway since that's the key to indicate network paths via UNC. A mistyped local drive access using the "//" notation can cause lengthy delays... and frequent posts to this list complaining about performance! ;-) There's no reason to be mucking around the registry either to make any of these kinds of changes. That's why the mount command exists.
