It's the quotation marks:

    C:\>set CYGWIN=
    C:\>ls \\thor\hadfieldnt
    DXclock    alphaev5-dec-osf4.0a  doc      install  man      share
    DXnotepad  bin                   etc      lib      scripts  tmp
    DXterm     dmf                   include  libexec  setvars
    C:\>ls "\\thor\hadfieldnt"
    ls: \thor\hadfieldnt: No such file or directory
    C:\>set CYGWIN=noglob
    C:\>ls \\thor\hadfieldnt
    DXclock    alphaev5-dec-osf4.0a  doc      install  man      share
    DXnotepad  bin                   etc      lib      scripts  tmp
    DXterm     dmf                   include  libexec  setvars
    C:\>ls "\\thor\hadfieldnt"
    DXclock    alphaev5-dec-osf4.0a  doc      install  man      share
    DXnotepad  bin                   etc      lib      scripts  tmp
    DXterm     dmf                   include  libexec  setvars

And of course if you want to set up a Windows association you need the
quotes around %1 to cope with spaces in the file & directory names.
