Nope, Control Panel shows the Path (sic) variable correctly pointing to 
c:\Windows etc. Besides, if Windows was looking for Windows on a: then the 
problem would affect everything on the whole computer, not just Cygwin. 
Also, even in the cygcheck output, all the variables that should go into the 
construction of the path are correct (home drive and all that stuff).
