Never noticed any issues previous to this but generally don't use
backslashes except as escape character, and MS utilities which require
legacy path separators (even under DOS, many non-MS utilities would accept
normal path separators, as the underlying APIs didn't care, and neither do
most of the Windows APIs).

Same user session, different (elevated) cmd and mintty/bash console sessions.

Kind of figures on Windows - I would expect elevated sessions to be able to
see mappings on non-elevated sessions.

Found that when I started using W7 console sessions, net utilities, both MS
and Cygwin nslookup, ping, tracert, etc. could not see the network unless
they were run in elevated sessions, so set up all console sessions to start
elevated. Was that something that happened on early releases and was fixed
later, or some incorrect assumption or setting on my part years ago?
