That worked for me. Similarly, I hard-coded "/home/seh" in my /etc/passwd file. I created the root /home directory. Beneath that I symlinked "seh" to "/mnt/c/Documents and Settings/seh/My Documents/". That way both Windows and Cygwin have the same home directory in mind. It would be nice if this scheme were automated, but then this is but one of many possible schemes. -- Steven E.
