Starting "C:\Cygwin\bin\mintty.exe" through a "Run As Administrator" context doesn't produce an elevated bash prompt on my Windows 8 workstation. Starting the "Command Prompt (Admin)" shortcut instead and running "C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login" inside should give you the expected behavior. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
