Hi Larry,

Thanks for taking the time to look at this.

When I look at the Log On settings for this service, it's set to log in 
as .\sshd_server user, not the Local System Account, therefore the 
"Allow Service to Interact with desktop" option is not available.

I'm told that this was recommended by the cygwin installation instructions.

Regards,
Paul
