Hmm. I wonder if you have anything in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts registry entries? This was meant to be a default which would be setup by Admin and provide a new user with default mounts. I remember this happened to me and clearing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry stopped the event from occuring. === Earnie Boyd Newbies, please visit (If you respond to the list, then please don't cc me) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
