If "ls /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32" is executed, the result is: ls: cannot access '/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32': No such file or directory Also, if try to execute "cmd.exe" in System32 directory, the result is: bash: cmd.exe: command not found. Of cource, /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32 exists in the PATH. So I mean "not opening anything at all". -- Takashi Yano <takashi.y...@nifty.ne.jp> -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
