This is not a bug report - it is a "howto" request. So I'll summarise my original post into a single question: When running the latest version of Cygwin on Windows XP, what is the best simple way of terminating all Cygwin processes, and resetting XP to effectively the same state as it was before Cygwin was started? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY READ EMAILS ONCE PER DAY SO RESPONSE WILL NOT BE + + IMMEDIATE.
