Do that mean that you advise us to clear the whole HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL = setup\b15.0\mounts tree, or just verify that the keys there (00 01 02 ... 1B 1C 1D - the = 30 of them) have undefined values?

Do that mean that you advise us to clear the whole = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\CYGWIN.DLL = setup\b15.0\mounts tree, or just verify that the keys there (00 01 02 = ... 1B 1C 1D - the 30 of them) have undefined values?
