Ah!  Registry!  Now I understand.

So, if I use a binary editor on the registry files, I'll be able to mount
my own directories using cygwin!

Another method that should work is copying the registry to paper tape
and using hole punches and white out to make whatever changes you want.
Then read the paper tape back in and voila! your cygwin mount table is
updated!

Thanks for the tip, Larry.  I am only a UNIX user so I wasn't sure exactly
how to do this.  Your hint provided me with the info that I needed.
