Please disregard the 2nd problem. Somehow my Windows PATH env var got corrupted.

Subject: Two problems with latest Cygwin version
> Running XP Home on a pretty standard system.
> Downloaded and installed the latest Cygwin ("complete" installation) about 3 days ago.
> Two problems I'd like to report that I couldn't find in the FAQ/etc.:
>
> 1. Before installation, my desktop contained a computer icon, a network icon and the trash can.
> After installation completed, only the trash can remained on my desktop.
>
> 2. Before installation, my DOS cmd.exe understood the 'more' command.
> After installation, my DOS cmd.exe no longer understands the 'more' command.
>
> I note that earlier installations of Cygwin had problems with 'more' (don't recall details).
> With this latest release, 'more' works normally.
> It's thus as if Cygwin "hijacked" more.
> I detect no binary change to my windows/system32/cmd.exe.
>
> Does anyone have a fix for at least the second issue? It's highly unfriendly.
> I fixed the first issue myself of course, but felt you should be aware of it.

> Best,
