yes. you should use --change-cygdrive-prefix option of mount.exe to
change behavior of those auto-created mounts. for example,

mount -b -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /cygdrive

makes /cygdrive/* auto-created system mounts binary.

see cygwin user guide (http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#MOUNT)
for details.
