Mark,

What problem are you referring to?  The question of
what difference it makes if you install Cygwin as
"Just Me" vs "All Users"?  That's just where the mount
goes in the registry as Igor mentioned.  If you're
questioning why Sanjay is having problems with his
cron installation, that is not clear and I can't help
here beyond what has already been offered.  BTW, there
is no magic to the drive that Cygwin is installed on.
D: is as good as C: is as good as E: is as good as...

Larry
