Why is regedit referenced?

I used the shortcut, c:/cygwin/cygwin.bat to run bash.

As soon as I do this, Kaspersky Internet Security 2009, which can track 
applications as well as network activity, informs me that the following 
unix bin commands are run:

bash, id, chmod, tr, hostname, find, sort, echo, grep, uname, and regtool.

When it happened the first time I could have sworn it was regedit 
instead of regtool.  I am assuming that what I am seeing is OK, but I 
think I will dig down and see what the bash related scripts are 
doing....its starting to come back to me now....its been several years 
since I used UNIX...

(I've got an OLD IBM manual on my shelf that instructs me on how to 
install my 8K board in my PC;  and other DOS PC users used to drive me 
crazy because nobody understood that there were things called file 
directories that one could use instead of putting all of your files and 
applications in the main directory.)

Thanks, I've been wanting programs like the process explorer and the 
process monitor.
