The cywin-b20 in the start menu is a shortcut which points to a batch file
(cygnus.bat) in the installation directory.  Command of filename not found
indicates that one of the following :
- the batch file is missing
- your have moved your cygnus installation
- The shortcut file (c:/windows/start menu/programs/cygwin b20) does not
point to the batch file anymore.

Have a look at the properties of the shortcut file and make sure it points to
the cygnus.bat file AND that the cygnus.bat file exists.

This indicates that the PATH environment variable has not been setup
correctly.  This is most likely due to the problem above as I believe the
PATH variable is initially setup via the batch file.
