I'm sorry I must seem like a lamo here and appear to be trying your patience, but I had read most of the documentation in cygwin-mount.el, particularly the opening sort of overview which says it will make emacs understand cygdrive. Here it does not. Below is an exerpt from emacs *Messages* buffer: You may note that after loading cygwin-mount.el. Emacs does not know where /cygdrive/c is. I typed in C-x d /cygdrive/c But emacs sees c:/cygdrive/c I type in C-x d /usr/bin. But emacs sees C:/usr/bin. So it has learned neither cygwins cygdrive or cygwins idea of /. All that seems to have transpired is that emacs now sees / and C:/. This is not what cygwin does.
