Wrong, the service is not installed that way.
Read /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cron.README first, then uninstall the mess you did
with "cygrunsrv -R Cron" before you install it again.
Second, you should really learn about how to use cron. The documentation of the
installed cron can be seen with "man cron", "man crontab", "man 5 crontab". Any
documentation from the Web could also be useful.
