Thanks for the response and sorry to bug you folks but
I have tried reading the email archives and trying
some different things to no avail.

I changed my permissions, so now

$ ls -ltr /cygdrive
total 0
drwxr-xr-x    1 rbelur   Domain U        0 Dec 31 
1969 y
drwxr-xr-x    1 rbelur   Domain U        0 Aug 11
12:35 x
drwxr-xr-x    1 rbelur   Domain U        0 Sep 14
17:11 w
drwxr-xr-x    1 rbelur   Domain U        0 Sep 22
12:10 k
drwxrwxr-x+  18 Administ root            0 Sep 28
15:01 c


I have only one option which is to run the cron user
as "rbelur" to try to get cron to read my network
drive. To that end I did the following
$ cygrunsrv --stop cron
$ cygrunsrv --remove cron
$ cygrunsrv --install cron -p /usr/sbin/cron -a -D -u
"rbelur" -w "mypassword"

$ cygrunsrv --start cron
cygrunsrv: Error starting a service: StartService: 
Win32 error 1069:
The service did not start due to a logon failure.

Am I still missing something basic ? Sorry to bother
but any help would be appreciated

Thanks
