In fact, I can't test any more since I uninstall Cygwin (registry 
cleaning + cygwin directory) and can't succeed in reinstall it again.
Each time I try, I've got a Windows error blue screen (BSoD).
Of course, I know there could be interaction with other softs, so i 
deactivated Avast for example and use no software meanwhile (I thought 
it could be the fact to use Firefox during install for example) but no way.
I appreciate your help but now I don't want to waste some time to guess 
the cause of this BSoD so I return to Linux.

Thank you for having answered.
