The problem is that the RegSaveKey must not interfere with the standard windows method. What's needed is that the dll itself _knows_ that the current exiting process is the last process of the current user. If so, it would be able to save and unload the hive from the registry. Does somebody have some code for that? "Last process" means, _really_ the last process on that machine, not only the last process in cygwin. If the user has still an interactive console session, the problem is solved because the windows logout code cares for saving and unloading anyway. Corinna
