I am facing some strange behavior with file-name completion in emacs. C-x C-f to find file opens up the minibuffer with i:/cygwin/home/rrajagop/StockScreener/working_copy/master_repo/stock_screener/. Hitting a TAB makes it i:/cygwini:/cygwin/home/rrajagop/StockScreener/working_copy/master_repo/stock_screener/. A couple of interesting things I've noticed:
- When the minibuffer opens up, i:/cygwin is greyed out and the path seems to start from /home. A C-a (go to begining of line) takes me to /home and not to i:/cygwin. So it looks like something in emacs is parsing the path to start from /home and not from i:/cygwin.
- I checked that TAB runs minibuffer-complete from minibuffer.el (by doing a describe-key for TAB), so it looks like minibuffer-complete is doing some translation for cygwin and appending the extra i:/cygwin.
How would I go about figuring this out/fixing it?
EDIT: Extra Information I tried opening up emacs with -Q and this problem doesn't happen. So this is something I'm loading in my .emacs. This is what I have in my .emacs

I think my answer to your previous question on finding the package loading tramp will help you out here.
you can control tramp by changing the variable tramp-mode.
Side note, you would probably find it useful to use customize to customize emacs.
I did a customize-apropos with tramp and it found the tramp group. Clicking there showed all the ways to configure tramp, including turning it off.
File-name-shadow-mode greys out the c: in the file name..... so when cygwin-mount-substitute-longest-mount-name runs it does no see the c: and adds another
M-x find-file
c:/home/
> a
c:/home/a ; but the c: is greyed
> TAB
c:c:/home/anything
