Re: /cygdrive permissions problem [failing duplicity backup]

I would strongly suggest nobody ever follow this reckless approach to
eliminating BLODAs.

   Always use the service control manager and/or the add/remove programs
control panel, according to whether you're trying to temporarily disable or
completely uninstall a suspect package.

Don't go manually killing processes or hand-editing the registry, or you
will be left holding the pieces when it all breaks.

Thanks for the warning, but I feel pretty much on my own on whether Windows works at all anyway, so I'm happy with that risk. ;-)

Best regards
