Yes, that's what I would expect.

1. I'm on Windows.  This is missing at the beginning of the recipe:

M-x load-file c:/path/to/cygwin-mount.el
M-x load-file c:/path/to/setup-cygwin.el

2. And you left this out, Michael:

(setq tramp-default-method "ftp")

3. And the last step is this (no ssh):

C-x C-f /foobar.baztoto.com:
                           ^ Tramp asks for the password

(At that point, even C-g won't exit the minibuffer, presumably because Icomplete
does its thing again on post-command-hook (?).  I need to do C-] to exit.)

That's using 24.1 (the release).

Will do.  Hopefully that will be in a week or so.  Thanks for working on this.

In the latest version I have, nothing at all happens when I type `:' or when I
then type TAB after the `:' - GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of
