Cygwin mounted drives as Administrator on Windows 7

Cygwin mounted drives as Administrator on Windows 7

[Mobin Bhayat]

Hi,


I’ve installed Cygwin 1.7 on a Windows 7 machine. The issue I’m having
is with viewing mapped network drives. When running as a normal user I
can see all the drives mounted correctly under /cygdrive E.G.
/cygdrive/x, / cygdrive /y etc..

However when I run Cygwin as an Administrator only the C drive remains
mounted under /cygdrive/c

Is there any additional setup I need to run in order to view the
drives correctly as an Administrator?

Thanks


Mobin

That's UAC.  See
