This is what is in /etc/passwd

lsavidge:unused:1001:513:U-Laptop\lsavidge,S-1-5-21-5255265862-4599952367-159522435-1001:/home/lsavidge:/bin/bash


So, U-Laptop\lsavidge matches my laptop name and windows user account.

I assume that this: /home/lsavidge

Is supposed to be where cygwin goes once loaded?

How does it get there? Under the directory in C:\Cygwin64\home there
are no subdirectories which I would have expected
C:\Cygwin64\home\lsavidge and for /home/lsavidge to be mapped to that
directory.
