Hmm. I wonder if you have anything in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus
Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL setup\b15.0\mounts registry entries? This was meant to be
a default which would be setup by Admin and provide a new user with default
mounts. I remember this happened to me and clearing the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
registry stopped the event from occuring.
