comment How to execute shell script in cygwin?
That's OK. It's easy to make mistakes when typing. That's why it's better to always post the actual output. Or if you need to hide some sensitive information, copy paste into Notepad, do a Find/Replace, then post that.

comment Changing Ubuntu Wallpaper Using Terminal or From command Line
Do you get an error message? I don't know if this is your problem, but the man page says that the key name is a parameter, not an option, so you should try putting it after the options, e.g. gconftool-2 --set --type list --list-type string /apps "[file...]".

comment What does the “Maximum Frequency” number mean in the Windows Resource Monitor?
How many CPUs do you have? Are they overclocked? Does your BIOS correctly detect you CPU? Apparently there are different ways of detecting the maximum CPU frequency. support.microsoft.com/kb/888282

What have you tried? Running pscp /? will tell you how to run it. Or is pscp not found?

I added a link to RFC 1716. That's where it's specified.
