I was able to use Windows Explorer to open the file by double clicking the file. I was able to use cygstart open the file with full path. The problem is with all file type. I can do a cygstart http://www.cygwin.com/ with no problem. The result from:
 strace cygstart hello.txt |grep hello.txt
is as below:
    20   11399 [main] cygstart 732 build_argv: argv[1] = 'hello.txt'
  202   12600 [main] cygstart 732 normalize_posix_path: src hello.txt
   46   12686 [main] cygstart 732 normalize_posix_path: /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hello.txt = normalize_posix_path (hello.txt)
   22   12708 [main] cygstart 732 mount_info::conv_to_win32_path: conv_to_win32_path (/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/hello.txt)

Unable to start 'hello.txt': The specified file was not found.

It seems it is looking at the wrong directory.

Thanks.
