Yes, of course. Easiest way is to change it in the registry directly: Goto [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts] There are a few mount points from 00 to 0x; find the one with the following values: "native"="C:" "unix"="/" "fbinary"=dword:00000001 "fsilent"=dword:00000000 and change native= to whatever you want. Leave all Cygwin programs before you do this. > > >Thanks, > >Suraj Bye.
