A disadvantage of .reg files is that some organizations have windows policies that require administrator rights to use regedit.exe; .ref files don't work for non-administrators (like me). And so I need to give a BIG THANKS to the people who wrote regtool.exe and the code for /proc/registry/, and also the setup.exe coders who remembered to give us a "just for me" option. - Barry -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
