Subject: [bug?] binary mount point option in setup
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi,

I apear to have found a bug in cygwins setup program 2.125.2.10

Description:

When installing as administrator on XP if you select install for 
everyone and set the default file format to be unix then the /cygdrive 
mount point will be binary mode when running as the administrator user.

mounts are stored in HLKM, however /cygdrive mounts and defaults are 
stored in HKCU
(see below.)

So when a user (not administrator) comes to use the cygwin tools 
/cygdrive is mounted text not binary.

Why does cygwin store the /cygdrive default in HKCU and not HKLM when 
installing as multiuser?
why not store the info in HKLM along with the other mount options?

Also I couldn't find a way to change the options without running setup 
or regedit again.
full drives can be changed with the mount command but /cygdrive only?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2]
"cygdrive prefix"="/cygdrive"
"cygdrive flags"=dword:00000022
