Subject: Using cygwin without mount

Hi,

I find cygwin very useful. I use
many commands like grep, rcs, ecc.
on my Windows machine.

I run this command not from bash,
from the Windows shell (cmd).

All work if the commands and
dll are in the path.

Some times there is a problem.
For example rcsdiff call diff.
Now, without a mount, the
rcsdiff says that /usr/bin/diff
is not found even if diff
is in the path!

Can I configure cygwin so
that it reads executables before
from system path?
This allow me to easy install
only necessaries command without
double the path both in the
enviroment variable and registry.

Thanks in advance.
