Description
In Windows Disk Management, I mounted a volume into empty NTFS folder C:\Program Files\Hidden HDD, and didn't assign a drive letter. However, directory /mnt/c/Program Files/Hidden HDD is not exist in Linux, so I can not access to this volume.

Research direction
Reproduce the Windows Disk Management setup using the mount point C:\Program Files\Hidden HDD and check whether it appears under /mnt/c. Start by tracing how WSL exposes Windows-mounted NTFS folders; done means the mounted volume is accessible at the corresponding Linux path without a drive letter.
