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 fÃvr. 2009 Direct3D
dr-x------ 3 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 21 fÃvr. 2009 DirectDraw
dr-x------ 4 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 7 fÃvr. 2009 Internet Explorer
dr-x------ 7 SYSTEM SYSTEM 0 29 fÃvr. 2012 Multimedia
dr-x------ 3 annie None 0 22 fÃvr. 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

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.
