- Executing  /etc/postinstall/00bash.sh.done worked wonders.
- "in-use files": Cygwin was closed when I reinstalled and it never 
asked for a reboot.
-  "the solution is to rerun setup.exe".Oddly, when I did that (or do it 
now) I only get Misc
    under the main header All, the rest has disappeared.

    Thanks a lot for the prompt help,
        Rolf
