 It depends :-)

 I would suggest to run the mount-command only once in a bash
 using the "-s" switch to the mount command. That way,
 "/cygdrive/e" will be your cygwin-home dir (*not* install-dir,
 just *your* (t.baker's) home-dir (if you are not familiar with
 unix in general, I suggest to read a good introduction to any
 unix or linux)) for all applications and all time.

 With such a mounted hoem, you can delete the redundant copy.
 (delete it before you create the mount.)

 mounts using "-s" are stored in the registry, so they survive
 reboots.

 As a hint: "mount -s -b 'e:\' /home/tbaker" should work.
 Please note the single-quotes, which prevent the shell from
 playing games with the backslash. The "-b" forces a binary
 mount. That stops cygwin from doing "crlf <-> lf" translations.
 It is somewhat a mater of taste to use "-b" or not.


 Have fun!
