I have "reverse engineered" from a dumped key using the superior WinXP regedit tool. I now have, attached to this file, a successful .REG file (gzipped) that does what we want & expect with Brian's little copy_cygpath.exe tool placed in Cygwin's /bin/. Incomplete results still for Win9x. I am either at one machine or the other at a time, not both. So this attached file *WILL NOT WORK* for versions of REGEDIT prior to 5.00 (which IIANM debuted with Win2K). Note that the leader line is different than that familiar from the REGEDIT4 .REG files: ----- snip! ----- 8< ----- Cut Here ----- Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygPathLFN] @="Copy &LFN Cygwin Path" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygPathLFN\command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,43,00,59,00,47,00,52,00,4f,00,4f,00,54,00,25,00,\ 5c,00,62,00,69,00,6e,00,5c,00,63,00,6f,00,70,00,79,00,5f,00,63,00,79,00,67,\ 00,70,00,61,00,74,00,68,00,22,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,4c,00,22,00,00,00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygPathSFN] @="Copy &SFN Cygwin Path" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\CygPathSFN\command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,43,00,59,00,47,00,52,00,4f,00,4f,00,54,00,25,00,\ 5c,00,62,00,69,00,6e,00,5c,00,63,00,6f,00,70,00,79,00,5f,00,63,00,79,00,67,\ 00,70,00,61,00,74,00,68,00,22,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,31,00,22,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\CygPathLFN] @="Copy &LFN Cygwin Path" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\CygPathLFN\command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,43,00,59,00,47,00,52,00,4f,00,4f,00,54,00,25,00,\ 5c,00,62,00,69,00,6e,00,5c,00,63,00,6f,00,70,00,79,00,5f,00,63,00,79,00,67,\ 00,70,00,61,00,74,00,68,00,22,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,4c,00,22,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\CygPathSFN] @="Copy &SFN Cygwin Path" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\*\shell\CygPathSFN\command] @=hex(2):22,00,25,00,43,00,59,00,47,00,52,00,4f,00,4f,00,54,00,25,00,\ 5c,00,62,00,69,00,6e,00,5c,00,63,00,6f,00,70,00,79,00,5f,00,63,00,79,00,67,\ 00,70,00,61,00,74,00,68,00,22,00,20,00,22,00,25,00,31,00,22,00,00,00 ----- snip! ----- 8< ----- Cut Here ----- Soren A. -- "So, tell me, my little one-eyed one, on what poor, pitiful, defenseless planet has my MONSTROSITY been unleashed?" - Dr. Jumba, Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" OpenPGP Key at http://savannah.gnu.org/people/viewgpg.php?user_id=6050 -- 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/
