Here's an idea: Traverse the directory %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\XXXX\Start Menu\Programs (where XXXX is "All Users" and also the user's username) looking for a directory named "Cygwin". In that directory there are shortcuts that contain the path to various subdirectories of the Cygwin install directory. The strings in the shortcut files may be Unicode, but the info is there. Cygwin's setup.exe always creates a Start Menu entry, right? So those shortcuts should always be easy to find. If a user has deleted his Start Menu entries for Cygwin, fall back to a full disk search for cygwin1.dll. -- Francis Litterio [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://world.std.com/~franl/ GPG and PGP public keys available on keyservers. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
