If you're talking about the console you get with cmd.exe (what you get if you
double-click on 'cygwin.bat' to start it from explorer or your desktop for 
example),
then you are squarely in Windows-land, as this has nothing to do with Cygwin 
(and
as such is pretty-much off-topic for this list).  But, assuming you are 
using cmd.exe,
you'll want to go to the icon in the top left corner.  Bring up the context 
menu by
right mouse clicking on it, select "Properties" and pick the "Layout" tab. 
What you
want is there.  If you want this change to be the new default for all future 
windows,
select "Defaults" instead of "Properties" above.
