Excellent!

I never mentioned anything about where the mount settings are stored.
Their storage location is completely inconsequential overall.  It just
so happens that, at the moment (and for many moments in the past ;-) ),
mount information is stored in the registry.  This will not be true in 
the future.  This is why I pointed you to the 'mount' command.  It 
queries and manipulates the mount settings from the command line 
irrespective of where the data is stored.  So, to answer your question 
about whether something needs to be added to /etc/profile relative to
your original inquiry, the answer is "no".


>Thank you!


You're welcome.  Glad I could help.

What changed is the mount type for the default mount points created by
setup.exe.  They changed from "user" to "system".  This means the mount
points are no longer user-specific but available to all users (including
SYSTEM).
