I think that 

   REM Mount local user %TEMP% as /tmp
   mount -f -u -t "%TEMP%" /tmp

should not work is statxwin.bat is started from a link on desktop or
clicking on it frome Resource Explorer.


%CYGWIN_ROOT%\tmp    is  c:\cygwin\tmp and not %TEMP%,i.e.

C:\DOCUME~1\'user'~1\IMPOST~1\Temp


It could work only if statxwin.bat is started from a bash shell
(Cygwin.bat) 

The solution 'to mount the users own tmp directory as /tmp' should work in
an environment that knows what means 'mount', '/tmp' (like CYGWIN).


Best regards,

   Angelo.
