This isn't true. '/etc/profile' shows how Cygwin decides what your home directory is. Only if there is no HOME set in your Windows environment and no home directory specified in '/etc/profile' for your user will you end up with the results of $HOMEDRIVE/$HOMEPATH. On XP, this will get you into the realm of "Documents and Settings". For Vista and later, HOMEPATH does not contain spaces. > A little googling on the problem found this: > > http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-04/msg00701.html > > so the problem/fix was reported in April 2008. And indeed fixed. But you'll need to move to the upcoming 1.7 release to get it. <http://cygwin.com/#beta-test> > Is this cygwin's way of saying "you should be using bash"? You're not using bash?
