I’ve lost my ability to see my c: drive from cygwin. when I do

cd c:

or

cd /cygdrive/c

all goes ok. But if I do

ls

then it complains

ecerulm@rlm-ecb4fe6cda1 /cygdrive/c $ ls ls: reading directory .: No such file or directory

I found something at this forum and also here So it seems that I screwed up permission (maybe it related to some automatic windows update). So after checking my username and group are the right on with

id

I notice that I can perform

cd /cygdrive/c/Documents\ And\ Settings

and see the contents of that directory so I must be some problem with the permission at the root folder c:

So I right-click the c drive and click on Properties. In the security tab added permission to “Read & execute” to Everyone but I didn’t solve the problem so I guess I have to live with this little anoyance.

Continuing with my previous post 1 , 2 …. I wrote a little script that I run every day via Windows Scheduled tasks. The script adjust the volume and EQ setting of all the podcasts and audiobooks everyday to update the just downloaded podcast. I find hard to listen to podcast and audiobook at the gym (that’s were I hear the podcast/audiobok) at the standard volume so I like to adjust the volume +100% and change the EQ setting to “Spoken word”.

Save the file adjustvolume.js and make sure that file extension is handled by wscript.exe. The file association windows should look like this

Now in Control Panel -> Scheduled Tasks you can set that script to execute every day to maintain your podcasts and audiobook with the correct settings
