PATH is usually processed left-to-right.  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.
