env vars are a common issue (see:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-08/msg00245.html) but in this case I
think it's somewhat different.
On Vista and W7, the sshd process is running in a different "Windows
Station" than the normal login. This *might* mean that the 'reg'
command is accessing a different registry hive that you think it should.
Can you run the 'reg' command manually, from a standard login and from
an sshd session, and see what the results are in each case?
