I have a machine (W2k) in a network, with a couple of mapped drive from
other computer,
I tried to set up cron in cygwin using local administrator or domain
administrator,
but all the job in the cron that tried to access the mapped drive will fail.
( I normally stayed on the pc as myself) I am wondering if I can
set up cron just as myself,  And how to do that?

Right, that's described multiple times on this mailing list.

You can't.  cron expects to run as SYSTEM.  Tweaking cron needs
some knowledge of NT security and recompiling.
