In that case you're probably doing something wrong.  At the very least,
you aren't following the guidelines suggested here:

I'd suggest reading this link, referenced at the above web page:

I understand you dont have a lot of time to respond to emails, but if you c=
ant respond helpfully, please attempt to read the email before polluting th=
e thread with a dismissive reply. regtool has a different syntax from what =
is shown on the max memory page. regtool -i set Key\Value not regtool -i se=
t Key Value. Doing the latter seems to have removed the cygwin registry val=
ues. I asked how to get the original registry values back, and whether ther=
e was a problem not having these values. Ok I admit (b) was a pitiful attem=
pt at http://dictionary.com/browse/humor.
