For the record, the //127.0.0.1/C$ solution is probably good enough for me. I therefore retract my proposal. By the way, any idea why //localhost/C$ doesn't work? Also, someone called Interix a POS, which I can't find on http://cygwin.com/acronyms, but I guess is derogatory (I originally though "POsix Simulation" or something, to tell the truth). Is there a list of reasons of the drawbacks of Interix somewhere?
