In that case, to find the path, start with: dir /x This will provide the "short" names, which should be locatable: 03/05/2010 03:20 PM <DIR> DOCUME~1 Documents and Settings 06/14/2011 03:32 PM <DIR> PROGRA~1 Program Files In this case, I'd use: /cygdrive/c/DOCUME~1 And it should be able to locate the path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
