Regarding 2) it *is* a .doc if not the default windows handler would not work for it. Regarding 1) : [asimha AT asimha-w2k02 /etc]$ mount D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts on /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts type system (binmode) D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode) D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode) D:\cygwin on / type user (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type user (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type user (binmode,noumount) z: on /cygdrive/z type user (binmode,noumount) [asimha AT asimha-w2k02 /etc]$ df -k Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on D:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\lib\X11\fonts 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts D:\cygwin\bin 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /usr/bin D:\cygwin\lib 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /usr/lib D:\cygwin 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% / c: 6289888 2666732 3623156 43% /cygdrive/c d: 5496088 2290917 3205171 42% /cygdrive/d z: 555604 555604 0 100% /cygdrive/z is there a way to mount d:\cygwin\tmp as it's own file system or simply make cygwin use my desktop as tmp?
