Igor:
It adds the start _menu shortcuts_ if and only if the "Start -> Program ->
Cygwin" folder exists (For "All users" or the current user). Neat and tidy.

To add to that, for beginners:
Answer YES to "add Bash shortcut to start menu" on the last setup screen to
get the Cygwin start menu folder created - unless you wish to do it
manually.

Unless the above condition is met they're accessible via
 /usr/share/doc/cygwin-doc-1.3/
only.

Note that
$ cygstart filename
works nicely, assuming that .pdf and .html are associated to apropriate
tools.
