A

find /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/

does not go down the /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE directory(key)
because there is no read access for people outside of the SYSTEM group:

$ ls -la /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/
total 0
dr-xr-xr--    5 Administ SYSTEM          0 Jul 10 08:50 .
dr-xr-xr-x    9 0        0               0 Jul 10 13:03 ..
dr-xr-xr--    4 Administ SYSTEM          0 Jul 10 08:50 HARDWARE
dr-xr-xr--    1 Administ SYSTEM          0 Mar 15  2001 SAM
dr-xr-xr-x    1 0        0               0 Jul 10 13:03 SECURITY
dr-xr-x---   65 Administ SYSTEM          0 Mar 15  2001 SOFTWARE
dr-xr-x---    6 Administ SYSTEM          0 Mar 15  2001 SYSTEM

The SYSTEM group is not a normal Windows group, so how can I add myself to the 
SYSTEM group (Cygwin doesn't provide the usual Linux group commands e.g. 
usermod, newgrp). Otherwise, how can I modify the permissions for read access to 
others so that the find command goes down the SOFTWARE directory?

Thanks
William
