How many of these?:

  * Vista, 64 bit
  * Root not at c:\Cygwin
  * Mintty is terminal
  * Bash is shell
  * Not in any way using 'Cygin.bat' as the "invoker"

Attached!

Since, I had uninstalled 'chere', I reinstalled it, Bash run as
Administrator:

$ chere -i -a -n -e "Mintty Bash" -t mintty -o \
  "--icon=c:\_0\cygicons-hippo-vista-0.dll,10 -"

The '-' at the end of the argument to '-o' tells 'mintty' to use
the login shell. which for 'lr' is 'bash'. Since you seem to be
implying that the quote is not coming from 'chere', I infer that
somehow it's coming from 'mintty'? Perhaps, 'bash'?

Note that once again, the Windows menu item comes up:
"cygwin_bash".

If you're out of ideas, might you give me some clues to look for
bad keys in the registry?

Thanks for your help.
