It's harder than you might think after fielding hundreds of these types

that the annoying obfuscation provided by nabble, and it is sometimes
hard to be patient with misconceptions.
Just to bring some closure to this side-discussion, I'm the original poster,
and that *was* my first ever post to this list. I am using Nabble, for this list
and numerous others. I find Nabble to be quite a good way to keep up with
various lists. I *believed* that this was a user's list, possibly because it
was listed that way in Nabble. However, checking today, I see that this
list is now called "Cygwin list". Either it has been changed since last week
or I was just confused last week with the numerous other Nabble lists that
I frequent. Sorry for that error.
Now, as to the original question about shared folders being created by
cygwin on vista, it appears that a solution is in hand, though I have not
yet tested it in my envrionment. Indeed I had tried some googling, and
even searching the archives of this list (using Nabble) before the post,
but I guess I wasn't using to right search strings. I've had so many fights
with vista, absolutely nothing surprises me when it behaves strangely.
Might I suggest a link on the home page entitled something like "Cygwin
on Vista" with tips on how to best survive vista. Meanwhile, MANY THANKS
to all the developers of cygwin. I simply could not function on windoze
without cygwin. You provide an invaluable service.
