Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] 1.5.24 unable to access files via root / (forward slash)
You have a whole mess of non-Cygwin programs in your path. Ah... it looks like I have a lot of housekeeping to take care of that I didn't know about. I need to do some reading up on the PATH variable, I thought it was only the stuff in /usr/etc/profile that set the PATH. Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] 1.5.24 unable to access files via root / (forward slash)
Just to conclude my query, in the file usr/etc/profile I've added the line: PATH= Above my other PATH variables. When I run cygcheck again, all of the pre-existing Windows Path environment variables have gone, which seems to be what I needed to happen.

No. You were advised to clean up your Windows paths - which are a mess. You've just cleaned up by putting the dirt under the carpet. Do not modify /etc/profile unless you know what you're doing. In this case it's obvious you're not.
