Skip, I am feeling polite, so I will hold your hand on this one a little bit.
All Cygwin files are installed in the directory that you chose when you ran setup.exe. One easy way to get rid of Cygwin is to delete this folder (usually c:\cygwin). However, that will leave the icons and such in place for Cygwin in the Start Menu and on the desktop. There will also be a few registry keys that will have no adverse effect on your system if you leave them in place. Alternatively, the Cygwin setup.exe program may have an ``uninstall'' option that does remove the icons, etc. However, I would not know for sure because I never uninstall Cygwin.
