Gee, why not binary edit the disk partition using WordPad or something, if you are trying to make work for yourself?

Inspecting the registry directly makes no more sense for cygwin than it does for any other installed program on Windows. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
