How do I save, restore, delete, or modify the Cygwin information stored in the registry?

Currently Cygwin stores its mount table information in the registry. It is recommended that you use the mount and umount commands to manipulate the mount information instead of directly modifying the registry. To save the mount information to a file for later restoration, use mount -m > mounts.bat To remove all mount information use umount -A. To reincorporate saved mount information just run the batch file. For more information on using mount, see http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html#mount.

Since Cygwin 1.7, there’s nothing important in the registry anymore, except for the installation directory information stored there for the sake of setup.exe. There’s nothing left to manipulate anymore.
