How many of these?:
* Vista, 64 bit
* Root not at c:\Cygwin
* Mintty is terminal
* Bash is shell
* Not in any way using 'Cygin.bat' as the "invoker"

Attached!
Since, I had uninstalled 'chere', I reinstalled it, Bash run as
Administrator:
$ chere -i -a -n -e "Mintty Bash" -t mintty -o \
"--icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 -"

The '-' at the end of the argument to '-o' tells 'mintty' to use
the login shell. which for 'lr' is 'bash'. Since you seem to be
implying that the quote is not coming from 'chere', I infer that
somehow it's coming from 'mintty'? Perhaps, 'bash'?
Note that once again, the Windows menu item comes up:
"cygwin_bash".
If you're out of ideas, might you give me some clues to look for
bad keys in the registry?
