Should? :-) I have no doubt that you did an excellent job ... and that it all very fast ... Perhaps, it is mere matter of perspective ????? - you want to be informed "about what the machine does" ... - I am only interested in "my files" (a specific point on the filesystem), a point where I have "rucksichtlos" eliminated all references to identities I do not care about (as I noted before, Windows is not really 'my cup of tea') In short, there is no problem that requires your immediate attention. And I am happy, that I can still control Cygwin to do it in the "old-fashioned" way. Sorry.
