To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2001 09:01:39 -0500 Message-ID: X-MIMETrack: Serialize by Router on SMTP01/SRV/DESJSMTP01/Desjardins(Release 5.0.6a |January 17, 2001) at 2001/08/06 09:15:35 AM MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Greetings. I am experiencing some problems on my Windows NT system. I do not believe that Cygwin is the culprit. However, I do need to get a confirmation from the community. What changes does Cygwin bring to a Windows NT 4.0 system? More particularly, I want to know if there is any Cygwin code that runs when I boot up my Windows NT machine, login and start say MS Word. I believe that no Cygwin code adds itself to the startup and login sequence. In other words, if I reboot my machine and do not explicitly call any Cygwin executable, it is as if Cygwin was never installed (except for the HD space taken). Does Cygwin changes/adds something in the registry? What about environment variables? What does Cygwin do when it installs the software? Its sets up directories with the executable, but what more?
