Dear All, Could someone please explain to me what is going on or direct me to documentation that would explain it or perhaps to a more appropriate list.
If I cd to: /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/jim/Local Settings/Temporary Internet Files ls shows: Content.IE5 Content.MSO desktop.ini Whereas if I go to the same directory via. windows it show hundreds of files, not including "Content.IE5", but most of which (not all) can be found somewhere in the directory "Content.IE5" via. cygwin. Furthermore a file created, via. cygwin, in "Temporary Internet Files" or any of it's subdirectories it does not show up in the window's list. However a file created in his neighbour viz. /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/jim/Local Settings/Temp does show up in the window's list of Temp. Being a long time unix user I tentatively conclude that the windows rendering of "Temporary Internet Files" is not actually the same as the one accessed via. cygwin, even though their paths appear to be the same. So I wonder if cygwin can access the actual windows directory. Also where does "windows explorer" store it's "suggested URLS" in the address bar. ie. the possible matching urls it puts up when you are typing in a url. I sure can't find it. Thanks for any light.
