Cygwin services store the Win32 paths to the executables -- thus, moving
Cygwin to another drive requires a reinstall of each service.

Neither did we. It's a typo.

cygrunsrv -L | xargs -rn1 cygrunsrv -E
cygrunsrv -L | xargs -rn1 cygrunsrv -R

It's not a good idea (at all) to mess with the registry if equivalent
Cygwin tools exist.
