I want to uninstall Cygwin completely (and then intend to do a fresh install). So here are questions :- 1) How to find out what are the Cygwin specific "services" that are installed ? 2) I've done a "umount -A" and closed Cygwin window. After this, I've changed permissions of entire cygwin install dir. to make myself the owner. Inspite of this, I am unable to delete the "app-defaults.lnk " from "X11" directory, reason cited is "Access is denied". How is this possible ? What can I do ? thanks & regards, bdutta -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
