As an alternative to what Brian suggested, simply prepending C:\cygwin\bin to the PATH should work. FWIW, the above is already done in the standard shell startup scripts, so unless you're using custom .*rc scripts, you probably attempted to invoke ImageMagick from a Windows command prompt. One word of warning for working in that mode: some of the programs in /bin are symbolic links or scripts that Windows does not understand. You're better off invoking Cygwin programs from a Cygwin shell, unless you're sure they are .exe files.
