That's it, %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%. It already contain your login name, if that is appropriate for your profile directory. From https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html %H Windows home directory in POSIX style. Note that, for the db_home: setting, this only makes sense right after the preceding slash, as in db_home: /%H/cygwin > /cygdrive/c/Users/myuser2 on this W7 (another corporate). > That way, using %H/%U/cygdir under both architectures would generate the right thing. > But currently, on XP SP3, the %H is replaced by '/cygdrive/d/Document and Settings/myuser1' which i'm pretty > close to consider as a bug. Should be '/cygdrive/d/Home/myuser1' i suppose. I have a feeling that you have %HOME% defined before mintty starts. I just made some tests, and it seems to be the showstopper. If %HOME% is already set, nsswitch.conf:db_home is ineffective. Simple check for SET HOME= mintty - instantly picked the right settings from nsswitch.conf I don't know, if this is intended behavior... We'd need an expertise here. >> I may be misunderstanding your desire.

Naaw, setup have a habit or removing symlink replacements for standard directories. It may be safe for /home, as no packages contain files in there, though. > but i really don't > need this. I don't like spaces in filenames either: they don't fit nicely in makefiles. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon AT yandex DOT ru) 14.02.2015, <01:52> Sorry for my terrible english...
