I didn't find that exact registry path, but I did find one that was close:
-----------------------
[WG44KA2G55H;] regtool
get '\user\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\xemacs-
21.4.11.exe\Path'
C:/cygwin/usr/local/bin/i686-pc-cygwin;C:/cygwin/bin;C:/cygwin/usr/bin
-----------------------
I also found that when I added a PATH variable in the "user" section, adding
"c:/cygwin/bin", and then reexecuting the icon, it worked perfectly fine.
I would assume the intention is that executing the icon would use that path
stored at the registry key. As you suspected, I would guess it wasn't using it
for some reason. Note that I'm running this on XP.
