Not necessarily. This is why using the backticks is discouraged. They have weird escaping rules and generally non-obvious. Stick to $( ... ). > Windows Explorer drive mappings are not visible from cmd or mintty/bash > windows, but "net use x: \\live.sysinternals.com\tools" mappings are visible > from separate cmd and mintty/bash windows as drive X: or /cygdrive/x, but > x:\ is not accessible from Windows Explorer. Are you sure you're looking from the same user session? If you start mintty/cmd elevated, you won't see drives mapped in Explorer (non-elevated). For me, everything works as expected. Drives mapped in batch file on system start visible in Explorer without an issue. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, September 21, 2015 08:53:08 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
