On my system, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console has a Cygwin subkey (and a Git Bash subkey, but I don't use Git Bash). I don't know if that is still in use (given comments re. Cygwin not needing the registry any longer, which I may have misinterpreted), but with the odd behavior, maybe it is still in use. -- Pat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
