And /cygdrive/d/temp is valid path in my case. It is the same, as if Zsh simply always skipped one directory. Small explanation to Sven: To access other drives under Cygwin I need either to - mount each drive explicitly somewhere under root or - simply use /cygdrive that gives you "single filesystem tree" image For this reason I really wish Zsh could assist here. -andrej
