Should work - I tried that mapping for a while, but found it interfered with asking Windows utilities for help e.g. cmd /? had to be cmd /\?: $ ls -d /?/\$RECYCLE.BIN '/c/$RECYCLE.BIN' '/d/$RECYCLE.BIN' '/g/$RECYCLE.BIN' $ ls -d /proc/cygdrive/?/\$RECYCLE.BIN '/proc/cygdrive/c/$RECYCLE.BIN' '/proc/cygdrive/d/$RECYCLE.BIN' '/proc/cygdrive/g/$RECYCLE.BIN' $ cmd /c ver Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.615] $ uname -srvmo CYGWIN_NT-10.0 3.0.7(0.338/5/3) 2019-04-30 18:08 x86_64 Cygwin What does mtab show: $ head /etc/mtab C:/cygwin64/bin /usr/bin ntfs binary,auto 1 1 C:/cygwin64/lib /usr/lib ntfs binary,auto 1 1 C:/cygwin64 / ntfs binary,auto 1 1 C: /c ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 D: /d ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 G: /g ntfs binary,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1 -- Take care.
