Cygwin services store the Win32 paths to the executables -- thus, moving
Cygwin to another drive requires a reinstall of each service.

Neither did we.  It's a typo.

In what way was it unsuccessful?

FWIW, something like the below should work to remove all services:

	cygrunsrv -L | xargs -rn1 cygrunsrv -E
	cygrunsrv -L | xargs -rn1 cygrunsrv -R

It's not a good idea (at all) to mess with the registry if equivalent
Cygwin tools exist.
