I runned $ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd $ mkgroup -l > /etc/group and restarted cygwin Here are the results without admin rights: $ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/ total 0 dr-x------ 3 annie None 0 8 avr. 2009 AudioCompressionManager dr-x------ 5 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 21 févr. 2009 Direct3D dr-x------ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 21 févr. 2009 DirectDraw dr-x------ 4 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 7 févr. 2009 Internet Explorer dr-x------ 7 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 29 févr. 2012 Multimedia dr-x------ 3 annie None 0 22 févr. 2009 RFC1156Agent Here are the results with admin rights (I put V* at the end to reduce the output): $ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/V* /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VCExpress: total 0 dr-x------ 60 Administrateurs None 0 1 oct. 20:25 9.0 /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio: total 0 dr-x------ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 1 oct. 22:30 10.0 dr-x------ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 7 févr. 2009 3.5 dr-x------ 4 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 1 oct. 22:25 8.0 dr-x------ 14 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 1 oct. 20:25 9.0 dr-x------ 4 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 1 oct. 20:25 SxS /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VSA: total 0 dr-x------ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 1 oct. 20:25 9.0 I didn't compare before and after but I think I've got a little more directories now.
