That could be. I was running as a regular user under UAC, installing for "All Users" -- but I did allow the elevation. > Does it do anything different without the patch? No, same behavior.

Normally I do not allow to create shortcuts (neither in the Start Menu onr the Desktop) -- which is why I haven't seen this behavior before. I manage my shortcuts manually using a "Toolbar Folder" added to my QuickLaunch area: one for cygwin-1.5, and one for cygwin-1.7. -- Chuck
