Hi, I apear to have found a bug in cygwins setup program 2.125.2.10
Description: When installing as administrator on XP if you select install for everyone and set the default file format to be unix then the /cygdrive mount point will be binary mode when running as the administrator user. mounts are stored in HLKM, however /cygdrive mounts and defaults are stored in HKCU (see below.) So when a user (not administrator) comes to use the cygwin tools /cygdrive is mounted text not binary. Why does cygwin store the /cygdrive default in HKCU and not HKLM when installing as multiuser? why not store the info in HKLM along with the other mount options? Also I couldn't find a way to change the options without running setup or regedit again. full drives can be changed with the mount command but /cygdrive only?
