I've run into one or problems because of this now, so for the time being I've set up another account with a different name with no space. However I'd like to just change the name of the old account using XP Pro's facilities for doing so, so I can keep all of my old settings etc., and just rename my cygwin home dir to match. Has anyone tried this? I don't want to mess everything up and end up having to reinstall lots of stuff. Cheers, Andrew. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
