Can you? Yes. But, unless you run Explorer as shell, all the Metro interface will be unavailable. This includes, across many, all the configuration windows. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, June 20, 2024 03:28:05 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
