I runned
  $ mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd
  $ mkgroup -l > /etc/group
and restarted cygwin

Here are the results without admin rights:

$ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/
total 0
dr-x------ 3 annie  None   0  8 avr.   2009 AudioCompressionManager
dr-x------ 5 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 21 févr.  2009 Direct3D
dr-x------ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 21 févr.  2009 DirectDraw
dr-x------ 4 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0  7 févr.  2009 Internet Explorer
dr-x------ 7 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 29 févr.  2012 Multimedia
dr-x------ 3 annie  None   0 22 févr.  2009 RFC1156Agent

Here are the results with admin rights (I put V* at the end to reduce the
output):
$ ls -l /proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/V*
/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VCExpress:
total 0
dr-x------ 60 Administrateurs None 0  1 oct.  20:25 9.0

/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VisualStudio:
total 0
dr-x------  3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0  1 oct.  22:30 10.0
dr-x------  3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0  7 févr.  2009 3.5
dr-x------  4 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0  1 oct.  22:25 8.0
dr-x------ 14 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0  1 oct.  20:25 9.0
dr-x------  4 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0  1 oct.  20:25 SxS

/proc/registry/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/VSA:
total 0
dr-x------ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0  1 oct.  20:25 9.0

I didn't compare before and after but I think I've got a little more
directories now.

BTW, it was an Cygwin clean install made 1 week ago.
