Thank you very much all for your replies. I think I should clarify
somthing first. Windows has two places to set path parameters "Local
Machine" and "User environment", what I changed is "local machine" one
which means it affects anyone use this pc.

1. I do have /cygwin/bin in my "User environment" Path, and I can see
cygwin find and use them all by type "env" in cygwin.

2. I didn't install make (gnu one) yet. I just want to delete borland
path first, because by accidently I typed make, it called borland
"make".

3. So, I can type "bash" in any directory in CMD prompt. It is like
the followings:
####################################################
H:\>bash
bash: .bash_profile: No such file or directory
bash-3.00$          //enter bash environment without problem
bash-3.00$ exit
exit

H:\>bash --login

H:\>                   //It is back to CMD prompt !!

###################################################
I fixed this now, because I stupidly put line ". .bash_profile" in
".bashrc" file to ensure my .bash_profile can be called every time
when I start cygwin. and .bash_profile calls .bashrc again. I think it
loops.

Many thanks for all of your advices.

Leo
