Welcome to Windows.

You should try googling for things like this. It has come up before not surprisingly:

<http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-02/msg00370.html>


Says here <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2004-02/msg00373.html> that:

Starting with version 1.5.0, Cygwin provides a special "managed" mount mode that encodes, among other things, special names (including "aux") so that they can be used in Cygwin.

Is this something I can "activate" ??
