Aha! That is the perfect function for this. I didn't know the existence of such function. BTW, I'm not familiar with cygwin-mount.el but it sounds useful. Is there a reason why it is not included in emacs? I rely on cygwin because of its complete coverage and good maintenance. However, cygwin emacs is much slower and requires X emulation to have graphical user interface. I believe there is a good demand of using native emacs (mingw/MSVC built) together with cygwin tools. -Tak
