Recent Cygwin did this nastiness to you (us). You need to do this in your init file or similar, to tell Cygwin "Hands off!": (setenv "CYGWIN" "nodosfilewarning") I also added that to `setup-cygwin.el', in case you want to use that: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/setup-cygwin.el (Cygwin folks apparently don't like this... See Emacs bug #14541: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D14541) HTH.
