There is a file called "cygwin.bat" in your
cygwin directory. It gets the start directory
based on an environment variable that is set
by /etc/profile, and kicks off
a bash shell.
Actually, this .bat file is how
the cygwin shortcut works. Did you
download all the packages with
setup.exe?

Reboot now? [OK]
