Hi Brian,

"id" is a cygwin output

On the laptop works.

$ id
uid=197608(Marco) gid=545(Users) 
groups=545(Users),197121(NESSUNO),4(INTERACTIVE),66049(ACCESSO 
CONSOLE),11(Authenticated Users),15(Questa organizzazione),113(Account 
locale),4095(CurrentSession),66048(LOCALE),262154(Autenticazione 
NTLM),401408(Livello obbligatorio medio)

I will look better why the Desktop failed. May be a reboot is needed.
I was sure to have shutdown all Cygwin process, but maybe some were 
still running.

Regards
Marco
