True, but one could fine-tune access rights to "HKLM/Software/Cygwin" such
that:
1) All users have "Create subkey" permission in "HKLM/./Cygwin/Users".
2) All

critical information is an extraordinarily bad i
How about breaking free from using the windoze registry. There is
absolutely no special need to use it IMO. All the mount info can be stored
in a plain ASCII file like 'cygwin.cfg'. As part of its initialization the
cygwin1.dll can use GetModuleFileName() to figure out from where it was
loaded

Solution:
Change cygwin1.dll/mount to
1. store mount information under HKLM/CYGWIN/MOUNTS/{USER-SID}, or
2. let mount succeed without persisting the
