Thanks, everything looks fine in the registry except the Parameters
AppPath was "\usr\sbin\sshd" so I changed it to what have below,
however, I got a new Application log error: "The description for Event
ID ( 0 ) in Source ( C:\\Cygwin\\usr\\sbin\\sshd.exe ) cannot be
found." so I changed it to "C:\Cygwin\usr\sbin\sshd.exe" and the App
log error went away, but the 4 Sys log errors remain.

Any other thoughts?

P.S. Why did you have double slashes "\\" in the paths?
