I recently fixed a problem with the profile script that is used by cygwin. It had a problem with a space in the filename, “My Documents”, and was generating several errors and not ending up in the correct directory. I tried several things that I thought should work but I ended up changing the script to use the “short” version of the filename. The DOS command “dir -x” will tell you its name.

thanks - i built off of your advice - now i can use find(1) in messy, space filled filename windows dirs:
$ find . -mtime -2 -type f -exec dir -xl {} \;
