Although:

$ ll $SYSTEMDRIVE\\

lists normally, the owner and group is the current user, whereas the correct
owners and groups are shown by:

$ ll /proc/cygdrive/c/

and Cygwin really does not like the entries in:

$ ll \\\\\?\\*\\

use of any name instead of *, or none causes a crash:

$ ll \\\\\?\\Boot\\

$ ll \\\\\?\\
