Current XP computers I am trying to run this into give me: "Registry Editing has been Disabled by your administrator." even if I try to write to Current_User All I am trying to keep portable is the X server thus XWIN.exe is the only executable I have, the only one I execute. After running the X server as the background server I am tunneling the packets using Putty / Securecrt. I am not able to 'mount' anything since I never run the cygwin environment. Just the x server. And I can only run it after adding info to the registry entries.
