I tried to reinstall the coreutils and cywin and it is getting worse because 
now many commands like ls, echo, uname, mount and umount cannot be found. I 
cannot rename/delete the cygwin root folder. Any thing I can do manually to 
stop it from uninstalling rxvt which causes the setup error or any work around 
solutions like unzipping the indivually packages? Is my only choice is to 
delete the registry tree Software\Cygnus Solutions under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 
and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER and reboot the machine for me to rename/delete cygwin 
root folder? It seems drastic. Thanks
