Regedit activity, or perhaps registry reads and writes, happen when you run virtually any application. Even if you run cygwin apps, I'm sure the registry is written to and read from. But afaik, not directly from the cygwin apps but rather, from processes that call the Win32 API functions which in turn use the windows DLLs which in turn read/write from/to the registry. Thank you very much.
