OT - But you need to know

I've found a bug in shlwapi.dll which causes cmd.exe to abort.  How it 
gets triggered I'm not sure; but during setup and removal of some 
features of IIS cmd.exe and therefore Cygwin stopped working.  Using 
depends on cmd.exe I found a reference in shlwapi.dll to 
WNetRestoreConnectionA which is not a valid reference. 
WNetRestoreConnectionW exists and RestoreConnectionA exists.  Modifying 
shlwapi.dll to subtitute WNetRestoreConnectionA to 
WNetRestoreConnectionW allows me to work again but obviously isn't a 
correct one.  Now to report this to MS.

Earnie.
