Ever heard of "tab completion"?

Right. So instead of a clean Cygwin root layout like...

|---bin
|---cygdrive
|   |---c
|   |---d
|   |---e
|   |---f
|   `---z
|---dev
|---etc
|---home
|---lib
|---proc
|---sbin
|---tmp
|---usr
`---var

...you will now have something like...

|---bin
|---c
|---d
|---dev
|---e
|---etc
|---f
|---home
|---lib
|---proc
|---sbin
|---tmp
|---usr
|---var
`---z
