'cygcheck screen' gives the following:
[jschenck@wxp][~] cygcheck screen
Found: C:\cygwin\bin\screen.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\screen.exe
C:\cygwin\bin\cygcrypt-0.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ADVAPI32.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\system32\KERNEL32.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntdll.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\RPCRT4.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Secur32.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cygncurses-10.dll
C:\cygwin\bin\cyggcc_s-1.dll
And nothing else is running:
[jschenck@wxp][~] ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
