My friend on another computer does all the same but with

The differrence between our configurations:
my - Windows XP, cygwin of 01.07.2006 (all standard packages)
his - Windows 2000, cygwin of 01.03.2005 (all standard
packages for that
version)
Why the behaviour is different?

Have you considered this MAJOR difference?
Yes, I considered it. [snip]
Actually, your answer indicates you did not. Look again at the emphasis
I added; it isn't pointing at the Cygwin versions.
So my question is: this disabling of accessing to desktop is also new
feature of new sshd? And can I allow him to access desktop somehow?
Or I have to install on my computer the old sshd to become sure that old
sshd will work on my OS too?
You haven't clarified how you "know" that this is not caused by changes
in how the OS treats the SYSTEM account, or service, or etc. between
2000 and XP.
What is it: new security prohibition of Windows XP or
new feature of last version of cygwin?
My guess is "new security prohibition of Windows XP". Have you
eliminated that?
Unless you have evidence that this is not the case (meaning, one working
and one non-working install /on the exact same OS/), why are you
insisting that Cygwin and/or sshd is at fault?
