mount, registry, local machine and current user


Hi,

how can I configure cygwin to use my personal installation (e.g. at
h:/cygwin), instead of the system one (s:/cygwin) ?  What I tried is to

1. login winxp as user (administrator privileges are not available to
   me)

2. execute some foo.reg, which inserts the mount table in the
   current_user tree

3. start rxvt.exe from h:/cygwin/

Though the manual states, that the mount table in the current_user tree
takes precedence, I end up with a cywin mounted from s:/cygwin.

Thanks,

ap
