You're getting confused because you can set the cygdrive prefix both system-wide and per-user, and the latter takes precedent. > c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) > y: on /cygdrive/y type user (binmode,noumount) ^^^ note "user" > /> mount -s -b --change-cygdrive-prefix / ^^^ note "-s" meaning change the system-wide mount So, you're changing the system-wide cygdrive prefix but since you have a user-defined cygdrive prefix it is taking precedent. I believe this was a recent change which is why you are seeing it now. If you want to get rid of the user cygdrive, do "umount -uc" and then set the desired cygdrive prefix system-wide with "mount -sc /".
