DJ, Conjecturing on this, the M: is mapped to \\engineering-nt\Users and because the command `mount //m/cygnus /' was used cygwin did a good job of finding the real path and the routines that handle the character quoting was passed \\engineering-nt\Users\Cygwin and returned \engineering-ntUsersCygwin which was placed in the data field of the registry. === Earnie Boyd Newbies, please visit (If you respond to the list, then please don't cc me) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
